Counterfeit Cash plays Merry Time Bar
Johnny Cash, June Carter cover band to perform May 8
ASTORIA — Portland-based
Counterfeit Cash, a Johnny
Cash and June Carter tribute
band, is coming to the Merry
Time Bar & Grill at 9:30 p.m.
Friday, May 8.
What began in 2004 as
an acoustic duo performing
Cash’s landmark 1994 album,
“American Recordings,” has
gradually developed into a
rocking ensemble with a rep-
ertoire of more than 70 Cash
and Carter classics — from
’50s hits like “Folsom Prison
Blues” and “Cry Cry Cry,” to
’60s and ’70s favorites like
“Ring of Fire” all the way
to turn-of-the-century covers
like “Hurt” and “Personal Je-
sus.”
What sets Counterfeit
Cash apart from other Cash
cover bands is the vivacious
and talented Jen FitzPatrick,
who brings a sweet, sassy
swagger to Johnny-and-June
duets, as well as June Carter
tunes.
The band features Danny
Coble on Cash vocals and
guitar; FitzPatrick on June
vocals; Steven Bak on guitar
and vocals; Robbie Scrivner
on bass and vocals; and Dan
Holmes on drums.

Rainbow Girls play the Fort
ASTORIA — Hear Rainbow
Girls perform at 8 p.m. Sun-
day, May 10 at the Fort George
Brewery. All ages are wel-
come, and there is no cover.
Rainbow Girls is a group
of female musicians who write
and perform original material
with roots in folk, Americana,
gypsy, funk, soul, and rock ‘n’
roll. In addition to their soar-
ing harmonies, these ladies
switch back and forth on a
multitude of instruments, in-
cluding acoustic and electric
guitar, accordion, harmoni-
ca, banjolele, mandolin, bass,
keys, ukelele, kazoo, djembe,
and drum kit.
Born in an underground
open mic night, they began
as an acoustic act, busking
around the farmers markets
of Santa Barbara, California,
before hitting the streets of
Europe for a summer of couch

by the skin of their teeth. Since
their return, they have evolved
into an electric stomp-folk
band complete with drums,
bass and a slew of original
music. In May 2013 they re-
leased their debut album, “The
Sound of Light,” and have taken
it to Europe, the U.K., and the
western half of the U.S. Since
the end of their 2014 tour dates,
they have been holed up in their
new home north of San Fran-
cisco recording their newest al-
bum, due out June of 2015.
