GIG PREVIEW: Cash tribute to play in Bunbury

Agreeing with the saying "there were none like him before and there have been none like him since", is exactly how impersonator Daniel Thompson remembers the great Johnny Cash.

Delighting adoring fans with his performances since 2009, Thompson said he grew up aware of the impact the talented singer-songwriter had on the music industry.

"Sound wise, nobody else sounds like him and there are people, like myself that who have gone out to sing those songs, but he was the one that did it first," Thompson said.

"He had a sound all of his own and I don't think anyone has come close to doing what he did in his career. Certainly in the way he did it anyway.

"Without question he had an influence on a lot of performers, a lot of music that has been around, especially a lot of darker music.

"He was a person who spoke up for a lot of things and had something to say when he saw injustice, or somebody who needed a voice but didn't necessarily have one, he spoke up for those people."

Returning to Bunbury for the third time on November 4, at the Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre, Thompson said his team always received a good response and liked to mix things up when they performed.

This time around organisers plan to explore the best Cash had to offer with special guest, Mandurah-based singer Courtney Conway, joining in the WA gigs.

"Courtney will be doing the June Carter stuff with us this time around we are really excited to work with a local, somewhat of a local in that part of the world," Thompson said.

"What we've done is sort of sorted through the Johnny Cash catalogue and we have just found some of the gems, some of the stuff people may have forgotten about or some stuff people may not know but of course they can expect to hear the big hits as well."
