The spirit of Johnny Cash lives on with the Church of Cash. It’s not just a band - it’s a mission. Founded by frontman Jay Ernest, this award-winning tribute to the legendary Johnny Cash brings the spirit, sound, and soul of the Man in Black to life with striking authenticity and raw energy.

With a deep respect for Cash’s timeless catalog and a passion for performing, Church of Cash delivers everything from early hits like “Folsom Prison Blues” and “I Walk the Line” to the powerful late-era ballads of the American Recordings.

Since forming in 2010, Church of Cash has played thousands of shows across the U.S. & Europe, earning praise for their spot-on musicianship, stage presence, and reverence for the source material. They were voted Best Tribute Band by Midwest Country Music Organization in 2019 and 2021, and Jay Ernest was inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame in 2021.
