After getting back from Australia there will be a couple shows at the end of April. Although they have not yet been officially announced yet, Lucinda will be appearing 4/27 at the Wine & Food festival in Austin and 4/28 in Phoenix at Cave Creek.
Also, on 4/20 she will be appearing as part of a very special Austin City Limits tribute show for Johnny Cash’s 80th birthday celebration. It will be an amazing lineup of artists. More details soon.
Most likely these will be the only shows in the first half of the year.
The Austin City Limits Johnny Cash tribute show made me sit up in my chair. 😀
I have no knowledge, no leaks, but I’m guessing Mr. Mellencamp could be included. Double shot.
Thanks for the info. Off to plot. 😆
John is doing the Woody Guthrie 100th birthday show in Tulsa on 3/10th. I don’t think he’s doing the Cash thing.
More info on “We Walk The Line” – sounds awesome! Tickets go on sale tomorrow, 2/29/12.

Johnny Cash To Be Celebrated With “We Walk The Line: A Celebration Of The Music Of Johnny Cash” In Honor Of His 80Th Birthday
Concert Will Feature a Star-Studded Lineup Including Kenny Chesney, Kris Kristofferson, Chris Cornell, Ronnie Dunn, John Hiatt, Amy Lee, Shooter Jennings, Lucinda Williams, Ray LaMontagne, and Jamey Johnson with more Legendary Surprise Guests to be Announced.
LOS ANGELES (February 28, 2012) – On April 20, 2012, music stars and friends will join together to celebrate the life of Johnny Cash in Austin, TX at “We Walk The Line: A Celebration of the Music of Johnny Cash.” In the year that would mark his 80th birthday, the concert, which will take place at Austin City Limits Live at The Moody Theatre, will not only pay tribute to Cash and his music, but also to his roots and his heritage. Performances will include GRAMMY-winning and GRAMMY- nominated musicians Carolina Chocolate Drops, Kenny Chesney, Chris Cornell, Ronnie Dunn, Jamey Johnson, Kris Kristofferson, Ray LaMontagne, Amy Lee and Lucinda Williams, as well as performances by Brandi Carlile, Andy Grammer, John Hiatt, Shooter Jennings and Rhett Miller with more performers to be announced shortly. Tickets go on-sale to the general public on Wednesday, February 29, 2012.
“Our family is honored to know that this amazing line-up of artists will gather together on one stage to pay tribute to the music and history of my father,” said John Carter Cash. “There is no doubt in my mind that, although he is no longer with us in body, his spirit will shine true on this night thanks to these inspired artists.”
“Having been a fan of Johnny Cash and his music for as long as I can remember I could not be more excited to produce an event that honors such a musical legend,” noted Keith Wortman. “His iconic voice, style and authenticity has inspired musicians for generations and we are proud to be able to celebrate his artistic legacy with some of today’s greatest entertainers while also benefitting such an amazing children’s cause ‘Charley’s Fund’.”
An all-star band led by GRAMMY Award-winning Don Was – which includes Buddy Miller, Kenny Aronoff, Ian McLagen, and Greg Leisz– will back these once-in-a-lifetime performances. The concert event will be produced by Keith Wortman. Was, who worked with Cash on an album for The Highwaymen, will serve as musical director. Tisha Fein and Chantel Sausedo will serve as talent producers. A percentage of the net proceeds will be donated to Charley’s Fund, to help in the fight to find a cure for the fatal children’s disease Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
“We Walk The Line: A Celebration of the Music of Johnny Cash” will be produced and distributed in conjunction with Legacy Recordings, the division of Sony Music Entertainment that serves as the home of Johnny Cash’s music catalog.
Cash’s 80th Birthday celebration kicks off on February 26, 2012, the day which would have been his 80th birthday, with the ground-breaking of the Johnny Cash Boyhood Home Project in Dyess, Arkansas. The house that Cash grew up in will become a permanent tribute to him and his family’s early life, as well as reflecting a historical slice of American life during the 1930s’ Great Depression. In addition, Legacy Recordings is set to celebrate this landmark year with a full slate of projects to be released throughout the next 12 months. First up is “Bootleg Vol. IV: The Soul of Truth,” a 2-CD, 51-track collection which comprises gospel and spiritual recordings made by Cash in the 1970s and ‘80s, to be released on April 3, 2012.
Tickets will go on-sale to the general public on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 at 10 a.m. CST and are available at http://www.acl-live.com/, at Waterloo Records or charge by phone 877-4-FLYTIX.

Thanks for posting ticket info, WW!
Wow, what a lineup! Too bad Mr. Mellencamp isn’t on list, he truly is a Johnny Cash fan. It does state additional artists to be added. Ticket prices, however, made this decision a no brainer for me. Standing room tickets are being sold at $165 each.

Didn’t see the Lu connection when I clicked on this, lwj, but maybe You Tube’s just another thing I don’t have a password for which now requires one. I’m all over the ticket sale Thursday; is there an obvious link to the ticket outlet? Thanks.

Help! I’m solid for that morning-after Sabbath breakfast buffet and strongly considering a private jet from Austin to get to the Friday fish fry, but I see no link for Lu tickets. . . .
This is going to leave Billy Bob’s in the dust.
Perhaps the Ticketmaster link will appear on March 15.
In the meantime, here are other websites for the event.http://www.azchickswithpicks.com

Really, stoger? No Lu connection? I was treated to a 48 second video of an attractive blonde lady using flashcards to give the relevant info, all to the opening guitar licks of “Can’t Let Go”. And, the video is entitled, “LUCINDA WILLIAMS Headlines CHICKSTOCK™ 2012 Teaser 2”. All without being signed into YouTube (I have an account, but purposefully signed out before watching the video w/ no problems).
It ended with a URL being displayed of http://www.azchickswithpicks.com – if you go there you will find ticket info, I’d bet…

Any potential plans for any Southeastern U.S. shows April onward, TO? Unfortunately, our budget this year prohibits long travel for shows for me for the forseeable future… 🙁
The “Chicks w/ Picks” gig sounds like it’ll be pretty cool! Wish it wasn’t so far away…

Stoger, as tntracy wrote ya’ll don’t need a password to view a You Tube Video.
The link I posted, when you click on it it says because of security reasons of the Forum, you don’t get a direct link but it says “Open this content in a new window”. Click on that and you get to You Tube. It’s been like that for quite some time.Harold’s Corral looks like a great outdoor concert venue. (over 70 years in existence)

Huh, I’ve never seen that before on my Mac or my PC, but I use either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for my browsers. Which browser are you using, LWJ? Internet Explorer?
