Tex Perkins will be performing the songs of Johnny Cash with his Tennessee Four with Rachel Tidd for the Groundwater Swells Music Festival on the Gold Coast in July.
Perkins has built an alternative career performing Cash and telling the story of the country music superstar. News of more Far From Folsom shows suggests, as Tex will have the band back together, that other shows around the country may be announced for around the same time soon.
Other additions to Groundwater are Davisson Brothers Band, Casey Barnes and Graeme Connors. “What better way to spend a weekend?” said Graeme Connors. “Sun, sand and the best Australian country music has to offer! I’m really looking forward to performing at Groundwater for the very first time.”
“Groundwater will continue to give country music the respect it deserves , paying tribute to classic moments in the genre’s history with The Songs of Johnny Cash, celebrating story tellers like Graeme Connors and Drew McAlister, encouraging breaking acts and welcoming international guests like the Davisson Brothers Band to join the party…It’s going to be a big year,” said Festival Director Mark Duckworth.
Groundwater Swells is on at the Gold Coast on July 26-28 where nearly 50 acts will perform across 15 stages.
