Area music lovers are gearing up for a marvelous, music-filled weekend in the Town of Cary with two shows, one featuring Rusty Evans – Tribute to Johnny Cash on Friday, May 1 at the Herbert C. Young Community Center, 101 Wilkinson Ave. at 7:30 p.m. and a free, outdoor concert by the SAS Showchoir, Vocal Motion, on Sunday, May 3, 2009, at the Sertoma Amphitheatre at Bond Park, 801 High House Road, at 3 p.m.   Tickets are still available for the Rusty Evans show for $18 (adults) and $16 (seniors 55 and older) at the Community Center or at Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com or (919) 834-4000; tickets are also available at the door.  Also, guests can purchase the Friends & Family Four Pack for $50, which includes four tickets, good for all ages for one individual concert.

With a voice like rolling thunder and a spirit like gentle rain, Rusty brings the true presence of Johnny Cash. Driving rhythms on his amplifies acoustic Martin guitar are augmented by his energetic three piece band, Ring of Fire. Rusty’s son Danny plays a hot rockin’ lead guitar while the bass and drums create a powerful pulse that drives folks right to the dance floor.  A meeting with Johnny Cash strongly influenced Rusty’s singing and has shaped the sounds of Ring of Fire.

An all-volunteer adult show choir sponsored by SAS, VocalMotion has been entertaining audiences all over the Triangle for the past 17 years.  Its members are employees, spouses and friends of SAS who have a love for music and dance and are dedicated to bringing quality entertainment to one and all. They will perform a Broadway-style musical revue that includes a wide variety of music from pop to country, Billy Joel to Michael Jackson, and everything in between.

“Look no further than Cary for your weekend entertainment,” said Performing Arts Coordinator Sarah Bunch.  “Enjoy the tunes of Johnny Cash on Friday, and then come over to Sertoma Amphitheatre on Sunday to enjoy the open air at Bond Park and the tunes of VocalMotion.”

The Rusty Evans performance marks the final concert of the 2008-2009 Marvelous Music Series and the SAS Showchoir is the second performance of the Spring Sertoma Series; both series feature the best in live entertainment.  For more, visit Marvelous Music Series at http://www.townofcary.org/depts/prdept/events/concerts/marvelousmusic.htm or Spring Sertoma Series at http://www.townofcary.org/depts/prdept/events/concerts/sertomaconcerts.htm or call (919) 460-4061.
