A TRIBUTE TO THE MAN IN BLACK, JOHNNY CASH!.... Michael Patrick's "Ring of Fire" band stems from central NJ and is an offspring of the successful country-rock group entitled "The Suburban Hillbillies." While to original band continues to tour locally, it's members have put together this special project.. A tribute show to honor and pay homage to one of their musical icons - Mr Johnny Cash! .. Michael Patrick and his legendary band of "Suburban Hillbillies" have made a commitment to the revival of country, folk and roots music in their homeland of New Jersey. Obviously not a hotbed or breeding ground for the Next Nashville Star, Michael and his band (including members: Dan Markovitch - Lead Gtr/Vocals, Lou Montella - Bass, and Drummer - Mike Bisozio) have made incredible strides and carved out a comfortable niche along with a handful of other local performers in fulfilling a desire for something different, gritty, raw and real in New Jersey. .. Years ago Michael found himself captivated by the simplicity, sincerity and expressive deep voice exuded in the music of Johnny Cash songs. In an expedition to further explore the music and its roots, he planned a trip to Nashville in September of 2003. Sadly to say, his arrival in Nashville also marked the day of Johnny's passing. It was a week of music, history, and education Michael will never forget. As time drove on, Michael set out to discover more & more about his musical icon and incorporated many of Cash's songs into his bands setlists. In addition he has organized benefit tribute concerts, and many local area performances to honor the music of the Man in Black. His efforts have received national attention with many feature stories in various print and web media publications. .. With the release of the recent hit Movie "Walk the Line" in addition to the Broadway musical "Ring of fire", the "spirit of Cash" is in the air and plans to stick around for a long time to come. .. "I laugh" (quotes Michael) when young children request songs like "Ring of Fire" because they heard it in their favorite Video Game.. It serves as a reminder that this music is timeless and crosses many generations.. Even more fun is the occasional request for "That Juaqueen Phoenix song"..... You have to love it! Young or old it is music that will always be celebrated! .. Plans are in place for a summer tour through the state and include many fun outdoor events. We even have a show that will be right on the Beach in Seaside Heights! .. We hope you can take the time out to come join us at one of our upcoming performances (See our schedule page). A big thanks to all our friends for their support and friendship. .... We hope to see you soon! ..Johnney Cash Tribute by Ring Of Fire Band...... .. .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. | ..
