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.
