Johnny Cash Night - A benefit for Prison Literacy Programs
Wednesday 04.28.2010, Doors at 8:00 PM, Starts at 8:30 PM, $5 to $15 donation, 18+
On the heels of our wildly successful Johnny Cash Night in '09, The Nave Gallery,Band In Boston, Rhode Island School of Design, and Space Gallery have organized a series of Johnny Cash tributes New England-wide to benefit prison book programs and celebrate the Man in Black. Join us for an evening of tribute covers by Portland musicians Christopher Teret, Jesse Pilgrim and the Bonfire (with many special guests!), and Caleb Aaron and the Thrill Pills, spanning the entirety of Cash's discography from Sun Records-era barn burners to gospel tear-jerkers. Proceeds from this event will benefit Volunteers for Hancock Jail Residents, which has operated a jail library program since 2001 and also purchases books for Maine's prisoners as funds allow.
