ROCHESTER - A Man Named Cash, renowned as the premier tribute to the music and lives of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, will play one show at the Rochester Opera House on April 10.

Known as "AMN$" the tribute features vocalist Eric Hofmanis who after a nationwide audition process, was chosen by The Johnny Cash Estate (which includes John Carter Cash - the son of Johnny Cash) to be lead vocalist for "Johnny Cash The Official Concert Experience" - a 7 month concert tour that spanned over 100 cities and major concert venues in the United States and Canada. AMN$ is the ONE and ONLY Johnny Cash tribute to feature a singer who was chosen for an estate-backed tour.

Recognized by Cash fans as one of the most honest and true representations of Johnny Cash live in concert, Hofmanis takes you on an exciting musical journey through the music and legacy of Johnny Cash - spanning nearly 50 years of music from his earliest days at Sun Recording in the 1950's through his final days and musical rebirth with American Recordings in the 2000's.

His astonishingly deep voice and even deeper embodiment of Cash's character often has audiences utterly transfixed in their seats - performing classics as varied as his first 1956 Billboard #1 hit "I Walk The Line" to the 2004 Grammy Award winning "Hurt."

Hofmanis is joined by Megan Houde (as June Carter) who's natural presence alone adds an essential brightness to The Man In Black. The two's on-stage chemistry (much like the real Cash and Carter) is undeniable, at times unpredictable and genuinely charming and uplifting.

The April 10 show starts at 8 p.m.
