David Stone

The Johnny Cash Experience At The Paramount

Johnny Cash fans will have the opportunity on April 12 to experience an accurate, note-for-note, authentic representation of the Johnny Cash Show without cheap impersonation.
David Stone......"The Johnny Cash Experience" will make an appearance at 8 p.m. at the Historic Paramount Theatre at 17 South Street, Middletown.
Stone brings to the stage the music and history of the legend.....all which is conveyed with dignity.
Stone is a Philadelphia born singer/songwriter who has been singing the songs of Johnny Cash nearly all his life.
Inspired by the Man In Black's ABC television show as a young boy, Stone soon learned to play guitar and sing in Cash's unique style.
He started the show some years ago to an enthusiastic response from fans all over the Philadelphia area.
Stone is not a look-alike or an impersonator, but his rendition of Johnny Cash observes a strict authenticity and dignity in conveying the rich, thought provoking music that made Johnny Cash an icon of American Country Music
Those who see David Stone's performance will know what it must have been like to see the real Johnny Cash in concert. His voice, mannerisms, and the sound of his band are wholly true to the legend.
Stone also writes songs in the same style of the late Johnny Cash.
As a decorated veteran who served with distinction in the Army's Second Armored Division, Stone, both in person and through his music displays an integrity that appeals to audiences and fellow performers alike.
In his show Stone does not try to impersonate Cash, but rather walks the audience Cash's life and music, while at the same time sounding, looking and playing exactly like the real man in black.
The show will run from 8 to 10:30 p.m.
Tickets are on sale now and run from $80 to $30.
Contact the Paramount Theatre office at 845-346-4195. Ticket office hours are 12 noon to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
