The Man in Black is a celebration of the songs of Johnny Cash, faithfully brought to life to try to provide "the up close and personal LIVE experience of his music." Developed and performed by Scott Keeton, an actual distant cousin of the Cash clan, The Man in Black aptly does just that. It is a theatrical event filled with master musicianship and tuneful reminiscences, guaranteed to entertain theatergoers with country music, gospel, and rock and roll as performed by the one and only Johnny Cash."
