Bencasso Performs Johnny Cash’s "Folsom Prison Blues" – Viola & Vocals Live

Join Bencasso for a unique rendition of Johnny Cash’s classic, "Folsom Prison Blues," where he combines his powerful vocals with the soulful sound of the viola. In this live performance, Bencasso brings a fresh twist to the iconic country song by playing the viola while singing, adding depth and emotion to the timeless tale of regret and hard choices.

"Folsom Prison Blues" was famously written by Johnny Cash in 1953, inspired by his fascination with life behind bars and the atmosphere of the notorious Folsom State Prison in California. The song, with its raw depiction of prison life, struck a chord with audiences and became one of Cash's signature hits. Cash’s live performance at Folsom Prison in 1968 cemented his place in country music history, as his empathy for prisoners resonated with the world.

Bencasso’s interpretation takes this classic and infuses it with his own style, blending classical and Americana influences. Don't miss this heartfelt tribute to one of country music’s legends!
