Terry Lee Goffee: The World's Premiere Johnny Cash Experience
"In the spring of 1955 Johnny Cash walked into the legendary Sun Recording Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. The music world was never the same.
Not long afterward, I put my first Johnny Cash record on a turntable and my world was never the same."
A champion of the underdog, a voice for those who often have none, an "outlaw" before it became fashionable, the indelible influence of Johnny Cash is alive and well in the musical world today. Terry Lee Goffee pays tribute to the Man in Black by portraying him in the first person, performing such classics as "A Boy Named Sue", "I Walk The Line", "Ring Of Fire", "Folsom Prison Blues," and "Hurt".

Holy Rocka Rollaz
If you love the rock 'n' roll music of Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Patsy Cline, Bill Haley, and The Comets (and many more!) then you will love the Holy Rocka Rollaz! Having spent years studying the styles of all the early rock 'n' rollers, this high energy trio knows how to deliver the spirit and sound of the 50's music pioneers. Using vintage instruments, the band feels no need to update or modernize the classic sound of early American rock 'n' roll.
It's feel good music. It's happy. It's innocent. And the way they do it…it's EXCITING!
