Great start to the 2010 Americana Music Tribute Series with last night's Johnny Cash Tribute

The 2010 Americana Music Tribute Series got off to a fine start last night in Parkersburg with the Johnny Cash Tribute show at 6 Pence Pub. A fun line up of musicians gave the music lovers a wonderful evening of music celebrating the life and music of Johnny Cash. The audience seemed to have fun, too, with some contests and many good door prizes distributed. We thank 6 Pence Pub for hosting us, and providing a lot of encouragement and support for the series already. We thank the musicians for their enthusiasm and dedication, and the sound guys for putting on a smooth show. Our 50-50 drawing garnered $95 to support the work of the agency, and one lucky patron got more than his evening paid for! The t-shirts were a big hit, and it seems like they will be a good promotion of the Series all year long!
We made over $1000 with the event ($915 taken in last night, with an additional amount over $100 already having been taken in prior to the event.)
We are eagerly looking ahead to the next event, the Cajun Cook off and Hank Williams music tribute in April, stay tuned for details!
