Bob Wootton
The Sound Of Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash was very fortunate in that he had a lot of things going for him.
First off was his catchphrase, the greeting he used to open his shows. All he had to say was: “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash”, and he immediately had the crowd in the palm of his hand. Then there was that voice.
Some would say he continually sang out of tune, but be that as it may, he had a distinctive and easily recognisable voice that appealed to the masses.
Equally as important as each of the above was the “sound” that Johnny Cash had. Originally created by Luther Perkins on Lead Guitar and Marshall Grant on Bass who were the Tennessee 2, they later became The Tennessee 3 with the addition of W.S. (Fluke) Holland on drums who joined them from the Carl Perkins Band.
Together they created a sound that helped to launch Johnny Cash on a career that was to take him to all corners of the globe and to gather every honour that the music World could bestow on him.
Following the death of Luther Perkins in a fire at his home in 1968, Johnny was on the lookout for a replacement guitar player. As fate would have it, in late 1968 Johnny was to get his guitar player when a shy young man named Bob Wootton was invited on stage by June Carter. Two members of the band had missed their flight and Johnny needed a guitar player for the concert. Bob eagerly took to the stage and following the show Johnny knew he’d found his man, and there and then invited Bob to become a member of the Tennessee Three, a job he held down until Johnny died over 30 years later. Of course Johnny Cash’s music wasn’t exactly new to Bob Wootton. From a very young age, Bob fell in love with Johnny’s music and from the moment he got his first guitar he learned all Luther’s licks and Johnny’s songs.
One day his mother called him into the room and asked him “What are you doing on the radio?” She was convinced that the singer she was listening to on the radio was her son Bob and not Johnny Cash, so similar were their voices.
Bob spent over 30 years as a member of the Johnny Cash Show, providing that unique and distinctive sound, singing harmony vocals, and also singing solo numbers, as well as playing stand-in for Johnny in all his T.V. and movie appearances. Throughout all that time Bob became very close to Johnny and June. Bob said “If it weren’t for June, I’d never have got my chance to join the Johnny Cash Show”. Bob became a member of the Cash family and Johnny always treated him like his brother.
Following Johnny’s death, Bob decided to hang up his guitar as he felt life on the road would never be the same again without the Man In Black. Thankfully, fate intervened, and following an appearance at a special tribute show, Bob’s interest in performing again was revitalised and the rest is history.
Johnny’s sister Joanne said “if anybody should carry on the legacy of Johnny Cash it should be Bob. He is the best qualified to do so and Johnny would approve”.
Because of Johnny Cash’s strong ties with Ireland, Bob decided that Ireland would be the ideal country to launch his solo career. And how true that turned out to be. Bob has already been to Ireland with his show on no less than five occasions now and each time his popularity has grown and grown.
And the good news for his Irish fans is that Bob is heading to Ireland in September for his 6th tour. This time ‘round he will be accompanied by his wife Vicky, and his daughter Scarlett. Vicky is a singer/songwriter very much in the Carter family mould while Scarlett is considered to be one of the most promising young singers on the U.S. circuit. Each show will be complemented by the outstanding Off The Cuff Band.
The show will play the following dates in Ireland before heading off to Scotland:
September 16th The Moat Theatre, Naas, Co. Kildare
September 17th The Iveagh Theatre, Bambridge, Co. Down
September 18th Burnavon Theatre, Cookstown

Di Anne Foxx's Song on SoundClick's Charts!
Di Anne's song "Are You An Angel" was uploaded to SoundClick, one of the internet's first charting stations on June 24, 2003. Since then it has moved up and down the charts. Before the end of 2003 it hit Number One and stayed there for several weeks.
Now again it has climbed the charts and is number FIVE out of 9,980 other songs in the same genre.

Mark Holt appointed to Roots Music Association Advisory Council
Join the Fastest Growing Music Association on the Planet........
www.rootsmusicassociation.orgAdvisory Council Member:
Mark Holt - Lewiston, Idaho
"...you can't peg Mark Holt into a neat little musical category...Mark Holt is a genre unto himself." Autumn Sakai (Talent Buyer, Seattle, Washington)
Mark Holt has been performing acoustic music in a variety of genre's for thirty years. To watch him in cowboy boots, jeans, a mock turtle neck and dress coat, he looks as eclectic as the mix of music he plays.
Mark was enticed to the stage at the age of 12, the Yakima, Washington native joined a music school shortly after. The school put him in a band formed to showcase students and sell lessons to others. The school went under, but the band stayed together. When Holt was a teenager, a talent scout took him under his wing. The man took him backstage at Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard and Ernest Tubb concerts and gave him a bit of advice he would never forget. "He told me you have to be something different' you want people to know it is you when they hear you, you need to sound like yourself, and not like anybody else."
Mark fell in love with Folk & Bluegrass Music, performing at his first festival in 1980. Mark Holt was selected in 1989 as a "Showcase Artist" for the International Bluegrass Music Association's Trade Show & Fan Fest. Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine w/ freelance writer Joe Ross featured Mark in its September 1996 Issue. In January 2007 Mark performed at the prestigious RiverCity Bluegrass Music Festival in Portland, Oregon. " Just to be in the same building with Emmylou Harris was worth the trip to Portland, performng in the Festival lineup was a Bonus".
Mark was asked to perform as a "Showcase Artist" at the 2003 Academy of Western Artist's Expo & Awards Show, which led to being featured in the July 2004 Issue of "American Cowboy" one of largest western lifestyle magazine's in the World. Mark got the opportunity to perform in Las Vegas in 2002 & 2004 for the National Western Art Show & Sale, held during the Wrangler PRCA National Finals Rodeo, "being in Vegas during the NFR is always a thrill, but seeing your name in Marquee Lights over the Las Vegas Strip, that is a professional milestone"
Mark got the chance to show his versatility yet again in July 2007 when asked to participate in an Acoustic Blues/Roots Music Showcase at Seattle's waterfront Highway 99 Blues Club. Inspired by the juke joints of the south, Seattle's Highway 99 Blues Club is an institution on the Northwest Blues Scene.
"I've spent my musical life keeping my feet in multiple genre's of music, partly out of necessity, and partly out of my love and respect of all music's". "I've performed all over the country, and road dogged the rest of it, I hope I can bring my experience's of being a touring artist and knowledge of working in multiple genre's to the RMA." "I would like to thank the Roots Music Association for the opportunity to serve on it's founding board."

Cheryl K. has a friendly, easy going nature, and a genuine rapport with her fans. If her personality and sunny smile don't warm you all over, her straight-from-the-heart vocals will do the trick.
