“Johnny Cash and the Queens of
Country” is coming to the Blyth
Memorial Hall on Sunday, Nov. 17
for a special matinee performance at
3 p.m. In addition to Johnny Cash,
this brand-new all-star tribute show
also celebrates the music of Tammy
Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton
and Patsy Cline. Produced by Bill
Culp, the man behind the recent
sold-out Blyth theatre event “Patsy
Cline: The 50th Anniversary Show”,
fans are urged to purchase their
tickets early.
Culp has assembled a notable line-
up of world-class talent for this
special event including Jim Yorfido,
best known for his starring role as
Johnny Cash in “The Sun Records
Story”, the official, international
touring show of the famed
Memphis-based label that launched
the career of “The Man in Black”
back in 1955.
“There’s a very obvious reason
why Jim was offered that prestigious
role in the Sun Records show.
Without a doubt, his voice is the best
‘Cash sound-alike’ in the industry.
He has that same booming Baritone
and each song is performed in the
original ‘Johnny Cash’ key,” Culp
says.
As a special bonus, “Johnny Cash
and the Queens of Country” co-stars
Canadian Country music legend
Marie Bottrell. With a total of 18
“Top 40” radio hits, Bottrell is an
eight-time Juno nominee, a two-time
CCMA Female Vocalist of the Year,
and in September 2010 was inducted
into the Canadian Country Music
Hall of Fame.
“Tammy, Loretta, Dolly and
Patsy…what a line-up! It’s an
honour to sing these timeless
classics and to pay tribute to these
musical pioneers. I grew up listening
to their songs…I loved them then
and I still do today,” Bottrell says.
Joining in the fun will also be Pam
Yorfido, who has won rave reviews
across Canada for her portrayal of
June Carter Cash alongside her real-
life husband of 25 years, Jim
Yorfido. “It’s so much fun to do
shows with Jim and Marie. We enjoy
ourselves on-stage and off, and I
think that fun atmosphere really
comes across to the audience.”
Similar to Bottrell, Pam also grew
up listening to Country music and is
proud to note that she “will be
wearing actual Tammy Wynette
stage dresses in the show,” Yorfido
says.
Songs performed in the show
include “Ring of Fire”, “Boy Named
Sue”, “Stand by Your Man”, “Coal
Miners’ Daughter”, “Working Nine
to Five” “Crazy” “Walkin’ After
Midnight” and many other
favourites from Johnny Cash,
Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn,
Dolly Parton and Patsy Cline.

the Queens of Country” are now on
