Tex Perkins will once again transform into The Man In Black

Tex Perkins will once again don the Johnny Cash uniform to become The Man In Black for shows nationally.

Tex first performed the music of Johnny Cash in the show The Man In Black in 2010. He may not have been Johnny Cash as long as Johnny Cash was Johnny Cash but he has been Johnny Cash longer than The Beatles were releasing new music.

“I love this show,” Tex says. “I’ve loved being in it for the last 10 years and having the opportunity of putting on the boots of a legend, exploring the world of Johnny Cash. Even though it’s all about Johnny Cash, I’ve put a lot of myself into this show, intentionally and unintentionally. Despite us winning a Helpmann in the first 12-months of life, the show I truly believe, 10 years on is even better!”

This will be the 10th Anniversary of ‘The Man In Black – The Songs and Story of Johnny Cash’ tour. The show will visit Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania and the ACT.

Tickets are on sale on from 2pm local time on Thursday 20th June 2019 via authorised ticketing outlets. DO NOT PURCHASE TICKETS FROM ANYONE OTHER THAN THE AUTHORISED SELLER OR YOUR TICKET MAY NOT BE VALID FOR THE SHOW.

For a group renowned for its precision, its disciplined touring cycles, and its aversion to nostalgia, this was a significant display of musical archival excavation.
