A Word From 

Debbie Horton

The only woman to ever play lead guitar for Johnny cash

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Eric Hofmanis during The Official Johnny Cash Concert Experience, and I have also followed his outstanding work in A Man Called Cash®.

I can say without hesitation that he brings an extraordinary level of authenticity, professionalism, and heart to everything he does. With more than 25 years in the live entertainment and attraction industry - including work with touring productions and major show venues — I have had the opportunity to collaborate with a wide range of performers. Eric stands in a class of his own.

His portrayal of Johnny Cash is not simply an impression; it is a deeply respectful and musically precise tribute that genuinely connects with audiences of all ages. Equally important, Eric is a true professional behind the scenes — organized, collaborative, and fully committed to delivering a seamless, high-quality experience for presenters, production teams, and guests.

I also want to acknowledge Megan and the important role she plays in A Man Called Cash. Her presence and contribution clearly enhance the overall production, and it is evident that the partnership behind the show is a key part of its continued success.

I admire Eric not only for his artistry, but for his integrity, work ethic, and respect for the history behind the music. He understands that great entertainment is about storytelling and connection, and he delivers both every single time. Any venue or producer would be fortunate to have Eric on their stage - and any audience will leave feeling they have experienced something truly special.
