Johnny Cash would have celebrated his 91st birthday this weekend (Sunday, Feb. 26), and you don’t need to “Walk the Line” or dance around “The Ring of Fire” to honor the country music legend. Here are some local ways to commemorate his legacy.
Shop
- Wear black to a Made in TN store on Sunday, Feb. 26 to receive 26% off Johnny Cash-themed gifts by Tennessee makers. Bonus: Purchase Johnny’s Music City Gift Set for your June — which includes themed soap, a candle, kitchen towel, cornbread mix, and mints.
Sports
- Sport your new Johnny Cash, all-black jersey to Nashville SC’s first match of the season at GEODIS Park on Saturday, Feb. 25 — purchase tickets for “The Man in Black Match.”
Try This
