With summer quickly approaching, Ventura’s annual Roadshow Revival Music Festival is continuing to add big names to its already star-studded 2015 lineup. This two-day event is packed with musical acts ranging from country to rockabilly and bluegrass and will bring out thousands of music lovers to celebrate the music and influence of Johnny Cash.
In their first ever appearance at Roadshow Revival, Reverend Horton Heat will be headlining Saturday’s rockabilly-centric lineup at the Get Rhythm Stage in what promises to be an epic performance. Making West Coast music history, “The Rev” will also be backing Robert Gordon’s set. Billy Joe Shaver and The Blasters will be headlining on Sunday, leading an awesome lineup of outlaw country bands and artists including The Freightshakers, John Doe, Big Sandy and his Fly Rite Boys and Petunia and the Vipers.
Straight out of Memphis, Roadshow Revival’s all star tribute to the legendary “Million Dollar Quartet” will be performing a thrilling score of rock ‘n’ roll hits to bring the audience back to the history making night in 1956 when musical icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins came together in what is known as the greatest jam session ever. Other confirmed performers include Jamie James and the Kingbees, Slim Jim Phantom Trio, and Gamblers Mark, plus many more.
The Johnny Cash Legacy Tour will be back for 2015 by popular demand.

About Roadshow Revival
In 2009, musician and local business owner Ross Emery produced the first Johnny Cash Music Festival in Ventura County with support from the Cash family, his brother and the Ventura community. Following the event’s initial success, Emery bought the majority stake of the event in 2010 and gained the support of Johnny Cash's daughter, Cindy Cash, who joined the production team. In 2011, the festival’s name was changed from was The Johnny Cash Music Festival to Roadshow Revival - A Tribute to the Music of Johnny Cash. Today, Roadshow Revival is one of the largest tribute festivals on the West Coast.
Roadshow Revival is proud of its ongoing support of local charities. This year’s festival will benefit: Food Share, Ventura County’s food bank.
