“Hello — I’m almost Johnny Cash.”

David James has spoken those words into a microphone countless times and on Oct. 21 will speak them from the Esplanade stage.

David James and Big River have been described as one of the most authentic Johnny Cash tribute shows touring today. From the way James plays and sounds to the interactions with the crowd, “when they step on stage, they live it.”

“It’s not only about the voice,” James said. “It’s about living and breathing the man — his posture, his mannerisms, his moves and his quirks. I want our audiences to go home feeling like they just observed the man himself.”

All the classic Cash hits fans have loved for years are part of the show including “Walk the Line,” “A Boy Named Sue” and “Hurt.”

Tickets, $45 plus servie charge and GST, are available at http://www.tixx.ca by calling 403-502-8777 or in person at the Esplanade box office or the Medicine Hat Mall customer service desk.
