Band Biography
The Folsom Prison Gang is a six piece Johnny Cash tribute band located in
North Carolina. The band was formed in 2007 and primarily performs live
shows at festivals, fairs, theater and other specialty type venues around the
South East and East Coast. While the Folsom Prison Gang doesn’t promote
themselves as an impersonation act, they are heavily influenced by the
styles present during the early years of Johnny Cash generally keep the song
arrangements somewhat true to the originals (the band does spice it up a
bit). The band also features Ms. Brookley Baker from season 10 of American
Idol (she was a semi-finalist).
In 2011 the band released their first album titled “Cash Only” that is a
collection of 10 of their favorite Johnny Cash songs that they covered in their
own style.
