Benjamin D. Hale as Johnny Cash Benjamin D. Hale played the part of Johnny Cash in Harrah’s Million Dollar Quartet in Las Vegas. As a lifelong Cash and country music fan, it’s a role that suits him just fine -- although he’s not all country. He just finished a six year run (3,000 performances!) as an understudy (Raoul) in Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian. He has an incredibly wide range, from the low growl of Johnny Cash to the high operatic notes of Phantom, and everything in between. He plays the guitar, harmonica, bass, and the dobro. He writes his own songs and knows his way around the recording studio. He has been in more bands than you can count, playing rock, folk, country, and blues. Currently his band Crimson Balladeers is a blend of Americana, country and rock. Blair Carman as Jerry Lee Lewis “The best thing that’s happened to honky tonk and rockabilly piano playing since Jerry Lee Lewis!” A phrase that’s been used to describe the wild piano pounding rock ‘n’ roll talent of this young man from Cincinnati, Ohio. Take the 1957 hands of Jerry Lee Lewis and the 1957 look of Elvis Presley and the raw energy of those two artists and what do you get? A piano pumpin’, thumpin’ rockabilly kid named Blair Carman. Blair started playing and performing when he was just a child. Having the talent to play many instruments, Blair settled on the piano as his instrument of choice to exhibit his passionate musical drive. Blair is a real Rockabilly enthusiast and strives to keep his music authentic. He is the only Jerry Lee Lewis tribute artist that was invited to the Killer’s 75th birthday party, invited by Jerry Lee Lewis himself.
