A Johnny Cash Tribute LIVE in Palm Springs! This isn’t simply a man in black singing Johnny Cash songs. Steve Waddington’s Cashin’ In is a full-throttle celebration of one of the most unmistakable artists in American music. At 6’5”, dressed in black with guitar in hand, Steve has the presence before he ever sings a note. Then that deep, commanding baritone kicks in. He captures the sound, phrasing, guitar style and intensity that made Johnny Cash an American original — but what really makes this show work is Steve himself. There’s fire in the performance, great musicianship, quick wit and a natural sense of humor that brings the audience into the show rather than simply asking them to watch it. And one endorsement is especially hard to top. Steve had the extraordinary opportunity to perform onstage with the late Kris Kristofferson during an awards show in Los Angeles. After hearing Steve sing, Kristofferson told him, right there onstage and on the microphone: “You sound so much like Cash, it’s scary!” Afterward, Kristofferson signed Steve’s guitar backstage — a career moment Steve has never forgotten. But Steve Waddington’s story goes back long before Cashin’ In. A lifelong musician, singer, songwriter, guitarist and entertainer, Steve began fronting bands in the San Francisco Bay Area, including the high-energy rockabilly group Cruis’n and later Steve One & The Shades, who shared stages with artists including Chris Isaak, Night Ranger and Ronnie Montrose. He wrote and recorded original music, worked in the studio as a singer, guitarist and producer, and even recorded lead vocals on material written by East Bay Ray. His career eventually expanded into television and live entertainment. Steve appeared on three of Skip E. Lowe’s syndicated television shows, became a regular performer in the Beverly Hills entertainment scene, and later appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Live stage. Over the years he has performed everywhere from casinos, theaters and performing arts centers to festivals, clubs, corporate events and major special engagements. His portrayal of Johnny Cash ultimately became one of his signature shows. Steve has been selected to represent Cash at special events honoring the Man in Black, including a sold-out Sun Records tribute celebration and the historic one-night reopening of the legendary Palomino Club, where he was the only tribute artist on a bill filled with established country and Americana performers. Cashin’ In reaches beyond imitation. Steve and his band bring back the stripped-down power of the early Sun Records years, the bigger sound of Cash’s television and concert era, and the songs generations still know by heart. Expect the hits. Expect the attitude. Expect some laughs. And expect a Johnny Cash show with enough energy, personality and musicianship to remind you why the music of the Man in Black still hits just as hard today. The legend. The music. The man.
