After a period of rest and lineup changes, Def Americans Johnny Cash Tribute has found its way back to the Dutch stages. This year, the iconic comeback album 'American Recordings' celebrates its 30th anniversary, which is worth noting. The accelerator is pressed a little deeper for a select number of shows! More than half a century after Johnny Cash's first hits, the Brabanders of Def Americans Johnny Cash Tribute manage to capture the swing, atmosphere, and rebellion of a performance by the legendary American outlaw remarkably well. The band's name may not directly refer to a Johnny Cash Tribute, but for the seasoned music lover, it is evident: during Johnny Cash's collaboration with Rick Rubin, the label DefJam was renamed to the well-known 'American Recordings'. Meanwhile, the band has built an impressive live reputation in the club and festival circuit, as well as several successful theatre tours across the country. Whether it's about Johnny's work at Sun Records, the prison albums, gospels, duets with June Carter, or the ‘American Recordings’ series – Def Americans succeeds in breathing new life into the songs that Cash himself delivered with so much love and passion. Cash's work remains alive in the hands of Def Americans by presenting its unmistakable sound genuinely and authentically, without losing sight of the raw and rebellious edge of 'The Man In Black'.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the iconic comeback album 'American Recordings', which is worth taking a moment to reflect on. The accelerator will be pushed down a little deeper for a select number of shows!
