AFTER a sold out one night only performance at Sydney Opera House last year, Daniel Thompson and Stuie French’s Johnny Cash: The Concert goes national again this year celebrating the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line.

Released in Australia in 2006, Walk the Line earned more than USD$12 million at the Australian box office and more than USD$180 million worldwide.

Winning five Academy Award nominations including a Best Actor nomination for Joaquin Phoenix as the Man in Black and a Best Actress Oscar for Reese Witherspoon as June Carter, the movie cemented Johnny Cash as an icon of 20th century popular culture and helped introduce his music to a new generation of fans.
