Brown Productions is proud to present an incredible tribute to this legendary icon of modern pop culture and
music. From the grass roots days of Country and Rock-a-Billy to the polished MTV and VH1 hits that crossed all
age barriers, our tribute to Johnny Cash is a huge hit.
This is no Las Vegas stage show, but an authentic recreation of the music and the man that captured the hearts
of millions. You will be astounded by the uncanny resemblance that star, Shawn Barker has to Johnny. You will
be even more astounded by his voice. Shawn truly captures the presence of Johnny Cash, not only through
Johnny’s music but in his storytelling.
From the moment Shawn takes the stage with traditional Johnny Cash greeting to his exit, with guitar slung over
his back, Shawn offers an exceptional portrayal of Johnny Cash.
THE MAN IN BLACK features a back up band of seasoned professionals who have studied the works of Johnny
Cash, offering the true sound that we have come to know as Johnny Cash music.
In addition to this pure and vintage portrayal of the legendary Johnny Cash, The Man In Black brings to center
stage two talented back up singers to sing the hit duets of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash.
THE MAN IN BLACK – A Tribute to Johnny Cash is now booking for 2007and 2008. Please don’t pass up this
opportunity to bring your patrons a recreation of a true American icon and pop culture legend.

"The Man in Black" is astounding. Having done a few shows with John over the years I was transfixed with
Shawn's tribute and portrayal of an American Icon.
Do not miss this show !

| The Man In Black A Tribute to Johnny Cash |
… This much is certain: Shawn Barker creates the allusion, in his tribute show to the legendary Johnny Cash,
that you're watching and listening to the man in black. Also, you don't have to be a Cash fan to appreciate
Barker. Case closed. Cash, er, Barker appeared at Mohegan Sun Cabaret Theater January 13-14.
He sang such audience favorites as "I Walk the Line," "Don't Take Your Guns to Town," "Folsom Prison Blues,"
"A Boy Named Sue," "One Piece at a Time," and the haunting "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky." For his final number,
he and his excellent four-piece band, along with two fine back up singers, cut loose with "Ring of Fire." Other
highlights were those rousing Cash favorites "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" and "Jackson."
The tribute artist subordinates himself, to a large degree, to the performer to whom he's paying tribute. In other
words, he can't be himself. Barker wasn't and the audience loved him for it. The show ranks alongside Super
Diamond as one of the best tribute concerts I've seen.
