The works of one of the best-selling music artists of all time will be recreated in Weston, and Mercury readers could win tickets to the show.
The Johnny Cash Roadshow: 50th Anniversary of San Quentin will come to the Playhouse, in High Street, on June 4 at 7.30pm.
American singer-songwriter Cash sold more than 90million records worldwide.
Although primarily remembered as a country music icon, his genre-spanning songs and sound embraced rock and roll, blues, folk and gospel.
Award-winning front man Clive John dedicates this year to the 50th anniversary of when Cash famously performed to inmates of the San Quentin State Prison.

Recordings were televised on Granada Television and later released in June 1969.
Alongside Clive is Cash's iconic wife June Carter, played by Emily Heighway.
