See Ari Axelrod, a Johnny Cash Tribute & More at Feinstein's This Month

Feinstein's April lineup will feature homage performances dedicated to the ‘King of Pop’ Michael Jackson and ‘The Man in Black’, Johnny Cash. Reminisce with Summer Nights, a show dedicated to the songs and behind the scenes stories of Grease. You also have the chance to experience the phenomenal voices of award-winning performers such as Storm Large and Ari Axelrod.

Coming up on Friday, April 5 will be WHO'S BAD: The Ultimate Michael Jackson Experience. Whether you idolized the Jackson 5, fell in love to Human Nature or learned to moonwalk to Billie Jean, WHO'S BAD is the ultimate music-and-dance driven Michael Jackson homage. This band of professionals relentlessly elevate the legacy of pop music’s King, always pushing themselves to be more precise, to raise the level of excitement and awe, while embodying Michael Jackson’s mission to bring people together of all races, genders and cultures through music. 
 
Every MJ fan feels the adrenaline, screams at the sight of that unmistakable silhouette and succumbs to a surefire Michael Jackson sing-along. The energy is purely magnetic, the music is first-rate and the dance moves are inspiring. Who’s Bad is a tribute befitting a King! 
 
 
JOHNNY FOLSOM 4 - Tribute to Johnny Cash on Thursday, April 11, at 7:30 pm. Lead singer David Burney brings a lilting southern baritone to Cash’s classic songs which hits the mark well enough that you will wonder if Johnny himself is in the building. John Fussell more than meets the challenge of filling in for Luther and Carl Perkins on those classic guitar licks, and Steve Eisenstadt (bass) and Randy Benefield (drums) provide the hallmark, train-like driving rhythm the whole world loves. True to Mr. Cash’s poetic spirit, JF4 promises an honest and entertaining performance for fans of all ages.
 
"For those of us unable to have seen Cash perform during his life, this is more than a treat. It's a time machine. When it comes to honoring Johnny Cash, JF4 walks the line." - No Depression Magazine.
