(MADISON, NJ) -- Prepare for a captivating tribute to the legendary "Man in Black" when Michael Patrick's Ring of Fire Band performs at The Concert Hall at Drew University on Sunday, April 6, 2025 at 3:00pm. The band brings the magic of Johnny Cash's timeless music to life in this special tribute concert.

Over a decade ago, Michael Patrick became captivated by Cash's music—the simplicity, sincerity, and deep, expressive voice. Since then, he’s been passionately paying homage to this musical legend. Enjoy classic songs like "Ring of Fire," "Walk the Line," "Folsom Prison Blues," "Boy Named Sue," and "Man in Black." Be transported back to the birth of rock 'n' roll with the band's powerful renditions.

The Ring of Fire Band has shared the stage with "Cash Family" members: John Carter Cash, Rosanne Cash, Joanne Cash, and Kathy Cash. They've also performed alongside legends like Randy Travis, Marty Stuart, Carlene Carter, Billy Joe Shaver, Clint Black, David Allan Coe, and more.

Tickets range from $35-$50 and are available for purchase online. The Concert Hall at Drew University is located at 36 Madison Avenue in Madison, New Jersey.

With annual tours in the south and sold-out shows from New York City to Boston, Ring of Fire is a must-see concert that keeps Johnny Cash’s legendary music alive. Their performances captivate audiences, proving the timeless appeal of the Man in Black. Don't miss this chance to catch Michael Patrick's Ring of Fire Band. Because, as they say in country music, "Life is better when you’re singing along!"

Since moving to a rural area on the west coast of New Jersey along the Delaware River, where, “his neighbors are now cows and horses!” Michael Patrick has found country living provides inspiration. Shortly thereafter he quit his day job of 15 years to perform and write music full-time. He’s even produced two new albums, Crossing Bridges and HOME.
