Michael J and the Mighty Cash Cats. The Mighty Cash Cats have Toured Coast to Coast and the Rave Reviews are in: Fairs and Festivals Magazine called them “America’s best Tribute to The Man in Black, Johnny Cash.” The Mighty Cash Cats do an accurate recreation of a Johnny Cash concert but as fans pay the utmost respect to Johnny and his music.
“The Mighty Cash Cats fast paced high energy Show takes the audience on a musical journey from Johnny’s 1950’s Sun Studio Rockabilly hits, to his hits of the 1960’s, 1970’s, 1980’s that we all know and love, to his Rick Ruben produced “American Recordings” Grammy winners of the 1990’s and 2000’s including fun Johhny and June Carter duets with Michael J and Leticia Blumette on tunes like “Jackson”. Michael J embodies Johnny Cash in both voice and look and Leticia does a spot on June Carter. And the rest of the band is no “in the background” backup band. Kenny Lee Lewis is highly animated slapping his black upright bass and does a superb job playing the 12 string guitar on “Wildwood Flower”. Craig Newton plays accurately and with passion the Luther Perkins and Bob Wooten guitar licks on his vintage Fender Telecaster. Drummer Steve Ebner drives the band playing the signature “boom-chica-boom” Cash train beat. Michael J and Letica’s Johnny and June comedy bits are hilarious and Michael J’s stories about Johnny and the history behind the songs makes the music even more exciting. If you are not a Cash fan before their Show, you will be after.” Jeffery St. Marchi, V Voice

Michael J’s duet with Leticia Blumette on “Jackson” brought the house down. And their 4 way vocals and harmonies on ‘Will the Circle Be Unbroken got a standing ovation and the crowd sang right along. Fantastic! They were kind enough to do several encores. This was one of the best shows we ever produced. Everyone asked me to book them again for next year.” Brett Reid, Midwest Promotions
