Gayville Hall celebrates Johnny Cash Saturday

Gayville Hall presents "A Celebration of Johnny Cash," starring John and Susan McNeill, Nick Schwebach, and Owen DeJong, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 18, in Gayville.

"Johnny Cash never sang a song that people didn't like or couldn't understand," said John McNeill, who sings many of the songs in the show and weaves a commentary about Johnny Cash between numbers. He and his wife Susan, who plays bass and sings, perform regularly at Gayville Hall.

The quartet first performed the tribute after Cash's passing two-and-a-half years ago and have repeated it several times since in Gayville, Vermillion and Okoboji, IA.

Schwebach, who plays lead guitar, and DeJong, on fiddle, are members of The Poker Alice Band and have toured with Always ? Patsy Cline and Gayville Hall's Hank Williams tribute. They are from rural Wakonda.

Gayville Hall is located at 502 Washington Street. Tickets are $10 at the door or $12.50 for a reserved seat. Call (605)-267-2859.
