Rockabilly Hall of Famer Rusty Evans and his band Ring of Fire have been burning up the California festival circuit with their rollicking tribute to country music icon Johnny Cash. Evans has wowed audiences from Nashville to San Francisco with his weighty drawl and soulful honesty and exuberance. Evans even looks like the Man in Black.

Evans and his band will make their first appearance at Antioch’s El Campanil Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 14 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $35 for Gold Circle (first three rows); $25 for adults; $22 for seniors; and $15 for youth.

When asked how he first came to sing with such conviction the songs of Johnny Cash, Evans said, “I met the Man in Black in the 1960s and was totally inspired, not to mention that Bob Dylan once told me long ago I sounded like Cash.”

Evans has performed on Dick Clark’s “American Bandstand,” toured with the New Christy Minstrels and worked with Phil Spector, producing and recording for CBS, Reprise and Folkway records.

The El Campanil Theatre is located at 602 W. Second St. in Antioch. For tickets and information, call 925-757-9500 or visit the Web site.
