Howdy friends!
Im still in shock.. but yes it is true! The band will be
heading to Starkville, MS with Stops in Nashville and
Memphis, TN for our first tour outside the tri-state area.
The band was chosen to be part of the festivities on
Nov 3rd in Starkville, MS to help Pardon Mr Cash for
pickin flowers.(Remember in the movie?) (see more
of this story below).
It is appropriately called:
The Johnny Cash Flower Pickin' Festival!
For more details on the event, CLICK
HERE
We will have the distinct honor of opening for
Marty
Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives in
addition to several (as of yet) un-named country
superstars. Stay tuned for an announcement that will
blow you away!
In addition, there will be other members of the "Cash
Family" at the event and we will be sharing the VIP
Hotel with them.
Cash sang about his run-in with the Starkville
authorities on his album, "At San Quentin (The
Complete Live Concert)," recorded in 1969. After
performing at Mississippi State University in 1965,
Starkville
police arrested Cash for public drunk and took him to
the Oktibbeha County Jail, referred to as the Starkville
City Jail in Cash's song. His version of the story said
police arrested him for "pickin' flowers." A few years
after the altercation, Cash returned to Starkville and
gave local authorities free tickets to his performance
to show he had "no hard feelings."
Of the seven times Cash was arrested, he only wrote
about one-Starkville.
We are looking forward to this exciting concert and will
keep you posted on the details as they evolve!
thanks for your continued support!
Peace, Michael
