This band is all about delivering the songs exactly the way they were meant to. It’s the same boom-chicka-boom sound that goes so well with Johnny’s voice and that is immediately recognised around the world, even before Johnny starts singing. Definite highlight of the show, just as it was in real life, is the charming Kim Carter taking the stage and joining the group for some of the finest Johnny and June duets. No matter how stern, erratic and dark Cash would get onstage in his songs, June was always there to light up the show! Sadly, both Johnny and June passed on a few years ago but Def Americans carry on their unique legacy. The Man in Black, his life and his music live on through the Def American.

The Jaydees
The support act of the evening comes from the Dutch band named: The Jaydees. Pure (alt) country and Americana music performed by five gentlemens.
