Signature show
Cash & King
The Man in Black opens. Elvis remains the King of Rock and Roll — fifty years later.
This is the show art. Date, venue, and tickets go on the flyer once a room is booked.
Country and rock and roll
Steven believes Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley had the most impact in country music and rock and roll. No matter if you’re a country fan or a rock and roll fan, there’s something for everyone in this one-of-a-kind celebration.
Steven shares his personal stories of meeting them both. As a teenager he shook Elvis’s hand backstage in Las Vegas. In 1990, Earl Poole Ball turned him around at Knott’s Berry Farm — Johnny Cash and June Carter had just rolled up in a golf cart. “I think my knees buckled. He looked about twelve feet tall.”
Those meetings are the spine of the night. He tells where the songs came from, and how they almost didn’t get recorded. Then the band plays. A one-of-a-kind musical celebration — not an impersonator show.
