(AP) – A concert to close out the first Johnny Cash Heritage
Festival will take place in an Arkansas field where the music legend picked
cotton as a youth.
The Jonesboro Sun reports that the October concert will be held in a field
adjacent to Johnny Cash’s restored boyhood home in Dyess. The small town in
northeast Arkansas is about 50 miles north of Memphis, Tennessee.
The concert will feature Cash’s oldest daughter, Rosanne Cash, and Kris
Kristofferson.
The festival is scheduled to run from Oct. 19 through Oct. 21. Along with the
concert, the festival will also feature a symposium at the Dyess Colony Circle,
regional music in the Colony Circle, a Memories of a Lifetime oral history
project, arts and crafts booths, and demonstrations.
