Since 2013, the Incomparable Radio Theater has been on the air, or at least in all of the podcast apps.

From “Timmy Preston, Galaxy Scout” to “The Two-Fisted Tales of Tesla,” from “The Fog” to “Doll Tearsheet, Private Eyeful,” there’s something for everyone. They have performed live around the world from Dublin to Montreal, even Spokane, but the show is made right here in Hanover, Indiana.

Back by popular demand to Madison!
The A.R Cash Show was recently named International Tribute Artist of the Year at the Josie Music Awards in Nashville, Aaron Prociuk is the real deal when it comes to performing a tribute to Johnny Cash. Growing up in the countryside of East St. Paul, Manitoba, Canada and inspired by the movie “Walk The Line”, Aaron taught himself how to play guitar at the age of 15. After mastering the lead work of Cash's guitarist Luther Perkins, he discovered he had a knack for singing Johnny Cash's music as well.
A.R CASH began in 2013 as a stylistically authentic tribute to Johnny Cash's music from the 1950's through the 1960's. With the addition of acclaimed country songstress Ashley Robertson to pay tribute to June Carter Cash, they charm audiences with solid and playful performances while sharing history of Johnny and June's careers.
Backed by some of the best musicians in the business they attract large audiences wherever they perform having headlined at prestigious venues such as the Country Music Hall of Fame, The Red River Exhibition, The Manitoba Sunflower Festival, The Painted Hand Event Centre, The Storyteller's Museum, 3rd & Lindsley Nashville and many more. They have even guest performed at the Johnny Cash Heritage Festival with members of the Cash family including Johnny's youngest sister Joanne Cash & Mark Alan Cash, as well as Vince Gill and the Time Jumpers plus Johnny Cash's legendary drummer WS Holland.
"Our goal is to captivate the audience and bring them back to a time when Johnny Cash was a household name around the world," states Prociuk, "we perform the hits from only that era such as Ring Of Fire, Jackson, and Folsom Prison Blues which makes us unique." The duo is also developing their own original project hot on the heels of releasing a new vinyl 45 rpm record called "Aaron & Ashley".
This show sold out quickly in the last two events, so get your tickets early. With the Mad Paddle as the host venue - this will be one to remember!
Also note there will be a small number of VIP after-party tickets available across the street at the private Club 113. Meet the band as they play more of their favorite tunes for this boutique group in the town's most intimate setting. Don't miss out!
