December 17th at 7pm EST - Edward Barnes Virtual Lecture: Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash was an American singer, songwriter, and cultural icon whose deep, resonant voice and emotionally unflinching songs made him one of the most influential figures of 20th-century music. In this online lecture, composer/producer Edward Barnes traces the arc of Cash’s remarkable life—from his hardscrabble beginnings in rural Arkansas to his breakthrough as a rockabilly pioneer at Sun Records in Memphis, and his evolution into a towering presence in Nashville, Hollywood, and beyond. The program explores Cash’s battles with addiction, the transformative personal and creative partnership he shared with singer-songwriter June Carter, and his astonishing late-career resurgence through raw, haunting cover recordings of songs by Tom Petty, U2, and Nine Inch Nails. This is the story of an artist whose voice embodied the American experience—gritty, haunted, faithful, and enduring. Edward Barnes is an award-winning composer, lyricist, and producer. A graduate of the Juilliard School, he is the winner of Guggenheim and NEA Fellowships, and the Stephen Sondheim Award for “the creation of innovative musical theater.”
