JOHNNY CASH BIRTHDAY BASH TRIBUTE “WALKIN’ THE LINE”
WITH BENNIE WHEELS AND THE
WALKIN’ THE LINE BAND
If You Were Fortunate Enough To Be Present At The New Year’s Eve Show
With Donny Edwards & Fever’s “The Next Best Thing To The King”
Then You Were Fortunate Enough To Experience Bennie Wheels
Authentic Tribute To Johnny Cash! See Bennie Wheels In His
Own 2 Hour Tribute Show To The Legendary Johnny Cash On
Saturday, February 23rd • 7:30 pm
BENNIE WHEELS–Lead Vocals
Bennie Wheels began his entertainment career as an Elvis Tribute Artist. Although successful, working for Dallas’ top look-a-like agencies, performing at countless corporate events, live concerts, private functions, and with many National contest wins (also a two time “Images of the King” World Competition Finalist), he soon realized that with 100,000+ acts, the Elvis Tribute business was an over-flooded market.
When the hit movie, “Walk The Line” came out, Bennie was drawn to the story and music of the Legendary Johnny Cash. Then, after touring Sun Records (Memphis, TN) in the Summer of 2006, he vowed to learn how to play the guitar that had collected dust in the corner of his office for so long, and give his best attempt as a Johnny Cash Tribute Artist. Instantly, Bennie realized that his vocal registry had an uncanny likeness to Johnny Cash in every way…even his normal speaking voice. And even from the first moment Bennie hit the stage as “Johnny Cash”, it was perfectly clear how natural his tribute to The Man in Black came to him.
Bennie is proud to have his actual wife, RENEE’ WHEELS, performing as “June Carter” in his act. Renee’ looks and sounds incredibly like June, herself. And Bennie & Renee’ share the same kind of love and chemistry that the Legendary Duo of Johnny & June had together onstage. Their act is second-nature to them…the closest and most authentic illusion to the real thing that anyone will ever witness.
DAVE ERVIN–Guitar
Originally from San Diego, CA, Dave Ervin is practically a life-long musician, playing everything from Christian Praise to Classic Rock. He has also worked with various cover projects, consisting of pop and light rock. He has taken his talents throughout California and Utah. Currently, Dave resides in Coppell, TX. He is the director of the praise team at his Church, lead guitar for Dallas based Celtic group, “Brothers 3″, and recently in 2007, has joined “Walkin’ The Line”, taking on the tribute to the “Boom-Chicka-Boom” style of Luther Perkins.
FRANCHOT JOHNSTON–Bass
From Rockabilly to Western Swing to Blues, Franchot Johnston has been playing Doghouse Standup Bass the old fashioned way…slappin’ gut strings ‘til his hands bleed! Franchot has torn up the Texas Rockabilly scene for many years, performing covers and originals with many local and touring Artists. Franchot not only contributes the awesome visual effect of the stand-up bass, but also the talent and natural charisma to serve justice to his tribute to Marshall Grant.
MARTIN MCCALL–Drums
Martin McCall has been fortunate to perform with many greats in the music field, such as: Larry Coryell (World-renowned guitarist), Mark O’Connor (Three-time National fiddle and mandolin champion and member of the famed “Dixie Dreggs”), Patrice Pike (“Little Sister”), Chuck Rainey (“Steely Dan”), and Brad Houser (“Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians”). Martin was also drummer for Jerry LaCroix, who wrote and performed on Edgar Winter’s “White Trash” album, and was also a member of the “Blood, Sweat & Tears” horn section. Martin brings a multitude of versatility and experience to the table, and “Walkin’ The Line” is proud to have him aboard. With his acute attention to detail, Martin McCall easily does justice to his tribute to W.S. Holland.
______________________________________________________________________
Incidentally, W.S. “Fluke” Holland has personally expressed his pride in the way “Walkin’ The Line” authentically recreates the legendary sounds of Johnny Cash & The Tennessee Three.

ELEVEN HUNDRED SPRINGS
Listening to any effort from Eleven Hundred Springs is like having your cool uncle pull out his favorite albums. Matt Hillyer and crew have that old-school country sound down. When the band started up way back in 1998, some folks thought it was just guys imitating the sounds of Merle Haggard, George Jones and Hank Williams, but over the course of nine albums, Eleven Hundred Springs have evolved into a tight unit of true believers. Songs like “I’m a S.O.B. (When I’m S-O-B-E-R)” and “Hard Work Just Ain’t Working Anymore” are not imitative of the band’s influences. They are authoritative narratives of rural America.
THE SOUTHERN HERITAGE BAND
The Southern Heritage Band is an energetic group that plays a wide variety of music, including oldies, rock, standards, blues and country and the pride of Weatherford, Texas. They play everything from George Strait to ZZ Top to Patsy Cline to Rod Stewart to Eric Clapton and many many more.
The Southern Heritage Band is an award winning 5 piece band that has been playing together for over 10 years, the band is made up of some of the best professional musicians in the North Texas area. They have been nominated “Entertainer of the Year”, “Club Band of the Year”, “Female Artist of the Year” by the Terry Association. The Lead Singer is a “National Talent Search Finalist” and a “Female Horizon Winner” by the Lone Star Music Association. Each Member has over 25 years of “Professional” playing experience.
The Donny Edwards Show Saturday night June 16th was a total sell-out at the Texas Opry Theater in Weatherford, Tx. Donny, Wayne and the Fever Band put on a FABULOUS SHOW and the crowd was very very happy. About 2/3 of the 475 attendees were from out of town, most everyone dined in our restaurants before and after the show and many stayed overnight in our hotels. Donny and the crew will be back in about 8 months to do it again. Watch for post here on Facebook for the next event coming to The Opry soon.

Once you have seen Dave Alexander in concert it is easy to understand why he has been named Entertainer Of The Yearby the Academy of Western Artists.
Throughout his successful and award winning career this dynamic entertainer has gained the respect of his peers while mesmerizing his audiences with each performance. His talents as a performer are unsurpassed as recently exemplified upon his induction in to the Texas Western Swing Hall of Fame, 2004 Male Vocalist of The Year by the Academy of Western Artists and newly appointed 2005 Cadillac sponsorship.
Dave has performed and recorded with the biggest names in country music such as George Strait, Toby Keith and LeAnn Rimes while carving out his own stellar career in the music industry. The three time GRAMMY nominee remains as one of the nation’s top selling western artists.
Alexander has been recognized as having created the finest Western Big Band ever assembled to deliver his overwhelming performances. His star performers include guitar great Tommy Nash, formerly of the Dixie Chicks, three time World Champion, Randy “Snuffy” Elmore on Fiddle and five time GRAMMY award winner Cindy Cashdollar on Steel Guitar. These great musicians combined with his incomparable horn section make up the finest musical ensemble on the road today. On many occasions Alexander will be joined by the great Legends of Western Swing, such as seven-time CMA Instrumentalist Of The Year, Johnny Gimble, along with Texas Playboys Billy Briggs, Bobby Boatright and Leon Rausch.
As a former member of the Texas Playboys himself, Alexander combines the heritage and success of yesterday’s great western music with the fever and excitement of his own compositions and today’s hottest musicians. The results remain unprecedented. As a writer Dave’s compositions can be recognized from the rodeo arena of the NFR in Las Vegas to the football stadiums of the Dallas Cowboys or The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Dave Alexander is no stranger to the road or rodeo. Last year in addition to his touring schedule, Dave and his golden palomino Missy made more than one hundred personal appearances at some of the largest professional rodeos in the country.
“It’s simply the best way I know to get my music to my people”, says Alexander. “Western music is an important part of the cowboy world, and that world will always include riding and rodeo.” he adds.
Dave is also very active in radio, television and film. His television ads for Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac can be seen throughout Texas as he continues to honor a corporate sponsorship package for over five years.
He can be heard across the country on a nationally syndicated Radio Program as guest host of “The World of Western Swing”. A new radio show currently sweeping the nation as it brings to life the fun and exciting sounds of Western Music.
His latest feature film, “The Hi Low Country” includes music written, arranged and performed by Dave with such artists as Willie Nelson and Marty Stuart. This film later received a Western Heritage Award from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame.
