The show is fronted by the award winning JP Mac as Johnny Cash, whose baritone voice and tone is scarily uncanny to the Man in Black's himself with even an official accolade of support coming from Johnny Cash's very own Drummer of near 40 years W.S (Fluke) Holland, who was completely blown away and regarded their tracks as 'quite amazing' on his radio show in Tennessee.
