Johnny Cash 79th Birthday Bash

Long before Gucci Mane, T.I. and Lil Wayne wound up in the clink, country legend Johnny Cash cultivated his image as a musical outlaw (though he never actually spent more than a few nights behind bars). Raise a glass of brown liquor to the Man in Black at this event, featuring Cash covers by Brooklyn twangers Alex Battles & the Whisky Rebellion. Plus, film archivist Clinton McClung will screen Cashcentric clips from Hee Haw and the musician’s eponymous variety show.
