Seminal musician Tex Perkins returns with an exciting new show about the music –the man, and legend – behind Johnny Cash. Teaming up with the Tennessee Four with Rachel Tidd, the Far From Folsom tour will hit the road in October. This tour will see Tex and his band perform in unique and unusual venues, some of Australia’s most well-known prisons; and the shows are open to the music-loving public.
Far From Folsom embodies Johnny Cash’s legendary performances recorded at Folsom and San Quentin prisons in the late 1960s. Tex’s incantation of the show launched as a one-off performance in The Old Parramatta Gaol last year, to incredible success. From what was planned as one show, Tex and his band ended up selling- out three nights in a row with more than 7000 tickets bought within hours of going on sale; and there was high demand for even more. Taking his Far From Folsom on the road was a natural progression.
Don’t miss these special concerts at some of Australia’s most iconic non-working prisons, they are guaranteed to sell-out well in advance. Tickets are on sale from 10am Friday 8th July 2016.
