Johnny Cash

Not that anyone doubted the legacy of Johnny Cash, but when an entire music festival is named after you, it pretty much seals the deal.

The Third Annual Johnny Cash Music Festival is set for Saturday, August 17th in Jonesboro, AR on the campus of Arkansas State University. The lineup includes Vince Gill, Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers, Jimmy Fortune of the Statler Brothers and Johnny's siblings, Joanne Cash Yates and Tommy Cash.

Proceeds from the show will go toward refurbishing of Cash's boyhood home in Dyess, AR, which is scheduled to open as a tourist attraction in 2014, and the funding of a college scholarship bearing Cash's name.

Tickets for the Festival are available at ASU's Central Box Office and online here. Check out the official website of the Johnny Cash Music Festival here.
