MAN IN BLACK: A TRIBUTE TO JOHNNY CASH COMES TO CITY NATIONAL GROVE OF ANAHEIM MARCH 18, 2023

 Man in Black, the highly regarded Johnny Cash tribute brought to life by Shawn Barker comes to City National Grove of Anaheim, Saturday, March 18, 2023. In this new run of U.S. tour dates the Man in Black performs nearly 20 shows throughout January, February and March, stopping everywhere from Myrtle Beach, Long Island, Fort Lauderdale, Clearwater and Thousand Oaks, as well as a five-night residency in Laughlin, NV.

Ahead of next year’s shows, The Man In Black: A Tribute To Johnny Cash has a 14-date fall tour launching October 6 in Chester, NY. Other stops include Albany, Annapolis, Alexandria, Red Bank, Glenside, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee and Minneapolis before wrapping with a two-night stand in Quebec City on November 10 and 11.

With his strikingly similar looks, baritone voice, and spot-on mannerisms, Barker’s uncanny resemblance to the original “Man In Black” revitalizes the true character and spirit of Mr. Cash himself, one of America’s greatest musical icons, for a truly one-of-a-kind show. The energetic show features Barker in character throughout the entire evening, walking the audience through each era of Cash’s life and music, including hits like “Folsom Prison Blues,” “I Walk The Line,” “A Boy Named Sue,” “Hurt” and “Ring of Fire,” complete with a full backing band.

Barker’s first Man In Black show was held in 2004 at a casino in Niagara Falls and has since performed over 1,000 shows in 12 countries, selling more than half a million tickets over the course of his career. Born and raised in a working-class suburb of St. Louis, Barker took a schoolboy love for singing in church with his family and turned it into a career. The path to his current success wasn’t a straight line from gospel choir to Johnny Cash tribute act. After serving his country in the Army, Barker returned home to Missouri, took a job as a carpenter, and spent all of his free time learning how to play the guitar. He developed strength and versatility in his voice by modeling his crooning on a cast of legends – Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly and Gene Vincent. His performances quickly turned from hobby to profession, but oddly enough, Barker’s first touring gigs were portraying Elvis, not Johnny Cash. Everything changed, however, when Barker was asked to audition for the part of Cash in a Hollywood production, as it became evident to the director and Barker himself that Johnny Cash was his true calling. From that point there was no turning back.
