DYESS, Ark. — Grammy Award-winning artist Rosanne Cash, daughter of legendary singer/songwriter Johnny Cash, and Grammy Award-winner Marty Stuart are joined onstage by members of the extended Cash family to close out the Johnny Cash Heritage Festival cotton field concert Saturday afternoon. The group sang its signature concert finale “Will the Circle Be Unbroken?,” inviting the crowd to join in.

In addition to headliners Rosanne Cash and Stuart, concert performers included Cory Jackson, 2018 AMCA Country Artist of the Year and contestant on the television program “The Voice;” Johnny Cash’s sister Joanne Cash; and members of the Cash family. 

Each performer delighted enthusiastic audience members who made the trip from several states and countries by paying homage to Johnny Cash with various songs and stories throughout the five-and-a-half hour event.

This marked the third year for the three-day festival to be held in the Dyess Colony and the concert in the field adjacent to the Johnny Cash Boyhood Home.
