Grammy Winner Rosanne Cash Comes to Thousand Oaks Today

Singer/songwriter Rosanne Cash performs at the Fred Kavli Theatre, tonight, March 20, 2015 at 8:00 pm.

Fresh off three Grammy wins for her album The River and the Thread, Cash and her band will perform songs from this collection of new original songs that connect Cash to the American South, the place of her birth and home of her ancestors.

Released in January 2014, The River and the Thread was the highest charting album of Cash's career on the Billboard 200 and debuted at No. 1 on the Folk Albums chart and at No. 2 on the Country Albums chart. It came in No. 1 on the Americana Top 100 Albums of the year chart, which is compiled by the Americana Music Association, and was included on Best of 2014 lists in The New York Times, USA Today, Rolling Stone, NPR Fresh Air, MOJO and others. Newsweek hailed it as "the work of a lifetime."

One of the most compelling figures in popular music, with a body of work encompassing country, rock, roots and pop influences, Cash inherited a reverence for song and profound artistry - and an equal duty to find insights of her own. The oldest daughter of country music icon Johnny Cash and stepdaughter of June Carter Cash of the legendary Carter Family, she holds lineage rooted in the very beginning of American country music, with its deep cultural and historical connections to the south.

Cash was born in Memphis, TN, raised in Southern California and is a longtime New York City resident. She has recorded 15 albums, charted 21 Top country singles and received 15 Grammy nominations, winning in 1985 and 2015. She has also published four books, including her 2010 bestselling memoir, Composed. Her essays and fiction have appeared in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, New York magazine and the Oxford American, among others.
