David Stone: The Johnny Cash Experience is a broadway-quality show that plays predominantly to a new generation of fans too young to have known the real thing in its zenith.

David Stone: The Johnny Cash Experience is the only Johnny Cash Tribute ever to be selected by the State of California (even over Johnny's original band) to play the 40th anniversary commemoritive concert at San Quentin State Prison on February 24, 2009, celebrating the historic performance of Johnny Cash at the facility in 1969.

The mission of David Stone: The Johnny Cash Experience is simple: to be an accurate, note-for-note, authentic representation of The Johnny Cash Show with dignity, and not cheap "impersonation."

David Stone: The Johnny Cash Experience takes the audience through the late country legend's career, covering Early Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash & June Carter, and the Folsom Prison Concert Era.

David Stone is a Philadelphia born singer/songwriter who has been singing the songs of Johnny Cash nearly all of his life. Inspired by the Man In Black’s ABC television show as a young boy, Stone learned to play guitar and sing in Cash’s unique style. He started the show 4 years ago, to an enthusiastic response from fans all over the East Coast.

Stone's rendition of Johnny Cash observes a strict authenticity and dignity in conveying the music that made Johnny Cash an icon of American Country. Those who see his performance will know what it must have been like to see the real Johnny Cash in concert -- his voice, mannerisms, and his band are wholly true to the legend. Stone also writes songs in the same style of the late Johnny Cash.
