George Jones, Kris Kristofferson, Daily & Vincent, Gary Morris, Rodney Crowell, Chelsea Crowell, Roseanne Cash, John Carter and Laura Cash and Tommy Cash will perform at the first Johnny Cash Music Festival Concert at Arkansas State University August 4.


Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe has proclaimed August 4 Johnny Cash Day.


The Cash family is working with the institution to make the festival an annual event in order to fund the restoration of Johnny Cash's boyhood home in Dyess, Ark., which the school recently acquired. In addition, funds will also go toward the establishment of the Johnny Cash Boyhood Museum in the New Deal Era Administration Building at Dyess.
