In the 1950s and 60s, Johnny Cash realized his own 'American dream'. He worked his way up from a cotton picker's son to a superstar with his own television show. He was a true storyteller, but he didn't always stick strictly to the truth. Joost Botman delves into the history of Cash, 'The Man in Black'. His story is full of contradictions: drug use and religion, patriotism and conceit, a family man with a fascination for dark themes.

In The True Johnny Cash, Botman takes you on a moving journey through a performance, in which he tells the story of the iconic singer with the distinctive dark voice in a captivating and sometimes dryly humorous manner. Botman's warm voice is a perfect match for Cash's songs. Guitarist Jos Kolenberg accompanies Botman.

Joost Botman is a guitarist and singer. He toured the country for five years with a music theater program about Simon & Garfunkel.

Event  Music
Roxeanne Hazes is homesick… for the theater. After an initial series of theater shows in 2025, she returns this autumn with a new album and a new show, '…met heimwee' (…with homesickness). It is the overarching theme of her upcoming third studio album. Homesickness for a home, or perhaps anything but. Homesickness for people, places, tastes, smells… and so much more. It has become a warm and hopeful album, yet with her typical melancholy and evocative lyrics. The first single, 'Chaos Gedoofd' (Chaos Extinguished), was released recently.
