Steve Davern from the band, Pin Drop Theatre, joins Mike and Tim at the Windy City Irish Radio studios for a night paying tribute to country legend, Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash had a strong connection with the Irish penning his 1961 hit,"Forty Shades of Green". Irish bands such as U2, in turn, have had a strong connection with Johnny Cash performing not only with Cash but performing his songs. Join us to pay tribute to the Man in Black and listen to other great Irish and Irish American music here on Windy City Irish Radio.
