CASHBACK: A Tribute to Johnny and June Carter Cash

CASHBACK, based in Birmingham, Alabama, is arguably the best Johnny Cash tribute band around. Led by Leif Bondarenko, Cashback has been performing their outstanding rendition of Cash Classic at venues around the country since early 2018.  The band’s six core players, all music professionals are Leif Bondarenko (lead vocals, drums), Gary Edmonds (electric and acoustic guitars, vocals) Eric Onimus (bass guitar) Adam Guthrie (electric and acoustic guitars, vocals) Tommy Bowen ( trumpet, keyboard and vocals) and Lannette Brasher (vocals).

CASHBACK performs a variety of classic Cash songs spanning the “Man In Black’s” 51 years career.  Eerily similar to Johnny Cash in his heyday, Bondarenko’s powerful voice is the star of the show, and along with blazing guitars and swingin’ rhythm, he never fails to deliver a lively exciting, even heartwarming performance to the audience.  “Every time CASHBACK walks out on to the stage, we want to show our great respect for the legacy of Johnny Cash wile giving the very best performance we can give,” says Bondarenko. “I have no desire to be a Johnny Cash impersonator, I just love the music of Johnny Cash, and try to sing the songs in an honest and sincere manner.  I love the vibe and the sounds that Cash and his band created on all those great recordings, he adds.
