ABOUT

Like so many others, David Chapa grew up on Johnny Cash and became a fan at a
very young age. Cash was his inspiration to play guitar and sing. He has been
playing for over 35 years, and professionally for the last 25 years.

Over 15 years ago he started contemplating a Johnny Cash Tribute show, not
another impersonation, but a real tribute that takes the audience on a musical
journey from Dyess, Arkansas to Memphis, Tennessee, Nashville, Tennessee,
California, New York, Israel, and beyond with brief narrative interludes in
between.

The idea formalized through conversations with Bill Lynn, a dear friend and
former studio drummer for Elvis Presley, who he met while living in California.
By 2005 Bill had a club in Bogota, Columbia called Legends and Superstars, where
Chapa was to play this tribute back in 2006, but Bill sadly passed away early
January of that year. However, it was the long conversations with Bill Lynn who
said, "don't do to Cash what so many others have done to ELVIS PRESLEY. The
impersonations really tarnished the artist. Just perform Johnny's songs, and
tell his story at the same time while being yourself and not Johnny, because,
like Elvis, there will never be another Johnny Cash".

"David Chapa's He Wore Black: A Tribute Concert to Johnny Cash is running over
with wonderful memories of The Man in Black. David's spot on performance of each
legendary Cash song takes me back to so many treasured times during my nearly
four decades working with John. He Wore Black is a "must see" event you will
never forget" -- WS "Fluke" Holland / drummer for Johnny Cash

"We work with Johnny Cash tribute artists around the world year after year, but
no artist we know puts the time, dedication and talent into their shows like
David Chapa. David's love, respect and honor for Johnny Cash's iconic legacy
shows through with every song performed, story shared and each minute detail of
the entire event that makes this tribute one destined for greatness. Well done,
David Chapa. Boom Chicka Boom Forever!” -- Ron Haney / music director/guitarist
for WS "Fluke" Holland

WS "Fluke" Holland started his career in 1954 playing drums for the great Carl
Perkins, and played for nearly 40 years with the American icon, Johnny Cash.

Ron Haney, lead guitar and the music director for the WS Holland Band, lends his
powerful guitar licks and vocals to He Wore Black, adding to the authenticity of
the sound and feel of a Johnny Cash show. Ron has been in the music business for
50 years, and has played with some of the greats in country and rockabilly
music. For years he toured with a gospel group out of Jackson, TN until he met
up with WS Holland 11 years ago and formed the WS Holland band.
