Mighty Cash Cats Featured On German TV, Upcoming Live Shows, And More



Mighty Cash Cats shown here during their June 20 taping for Germany's "RTL Punkd 12" television show, which airs over that country's top-rated Channel RTL. Johnny Cash's music is still huge in Europe - and now, because of their recent TV taping, so are the Mighty Cash Cats!

BUZZ ON MIGHTY CASH CATS EXTENDS ALL THE WAY TO EUROPE AS BAND IS JUST FEATURED ON TOP-RATED GERMANY-BASED TV SHOW! 

Perform@Summer Concert Series In Montalvo Square Sat. June 30


"Michael J Smith leads the performance playing a black acoustic guitar. It is impossible not to be drawn to the bass texture of his voice -- and his physical and aural resemblance to Johnny Cash is practically eerie. The Mighty Cash Cats are purely live entertainment for a live audience. They know how to talk to the crowd and manuver their instruments and voice to create a body of sound for each song, no matter the genre or mood. They closed with Cash's Orange Blossom Special to raucous applause."             MUSIC CONNECTION MAGAZINE
