About

It rolls in like a freight train from Memphis — a sound, a story, a spirit reborn. The Johnny Cash Songbook is no mere concert. It’s a journey through the soul of a legend. From the thunder of Folsom Prison Blues to the aching hush of Hurt, every note tells the truth. The laughter, the love, the fire — Johnny and June live again in this heartfelt ode to a man who walked the line.

Rob Smith – each performance is as powerful tribute show to Johnny Cash, channeling the raw energy and heartfelt emotion of the Man in Black himself. With a commanding baritone voice that bears a natural resemblance to Cash’s iconic sound, Rob Smith doesn’t just sing the songs from the Johnny Cash Songbook — he lives them.

Jackie Putnam – is an award-winning country-pop sensation known for her powerful vocals, magnetic stage presence, and heartfelt storytelling. Having performed throughout Canada and abroad, Jackie has built a reputation for delivering unforgettable performances that connect with audiences everywhere.

In the role of June Carter Cash, Jackie shines. She captures June’s warmth, humour, spirit, and unmistakable energy with ease. Her quick wit, natural charm, and larger-than-life personality make her a perfect fit, bringing both heart and fire to one of country music’s most beloved figures.

Here’s what Johnny Cash’s former guitarist has to say…. JIM ELLIOTT

"Rob Smith sounds like Johnny Cash, looks like Johnny Cash, and has the same mannerisms as Johnny. Walking on stage with Rob brings me back to the days of live music performances when I walked on stage with Johnny Cash." — Jim Elliot
