New Johnny Cash Music Festival Will Benefit Efforts to Restore Cash's Boyhood Home
Rosanne Cash, John Carter Cash and Tommy Cash were in Jonesboro, AR yesterday (April 14) to announce the first Johnny Cash Music Festival. The multi-act show will be held on August 4 at the Arkansas State University Convocation Center.
