BAND DETAIL: Walkin' The Line

Video

"Walkin' The Line" is a first-class authentic tribute to Johnny Cash, June Carter and The Tennessee Three.  Based in Dallas, TX, "Walkin' The Line" is perfect for Casinos, Resorts, Fairs/Festivals, Corperate Events, Performing Arts Centers, or even your next Private Party.

Seeing is believing...and when you see "Walkin' The Line" in action, there's no doubt that Johnny Cash's spirit will continue to live on!

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.

ROBERT STANOVICH--Drums
Originally from Biloxi, MS, Robert has been a professional musician for over 20 years. With a music performance degree from UT, Robert has performed in Broadway productions, was drummer with his command's band (while serving our Country in "Desert Storm"), and has taken on many different successful tribute projects. Robert is an amazingly versatile drummer, providing the foundation to "Walkin' The Line" that even W.S. Holland would be proud of.
