BENNIE WHEELS--Lead Vocals
Bennie Wheels began his entertainment career as an Elvis Tribute Artist. Although successful, working for Dallas' top look-a-like agencies, performing at countless corporate events, live concerts, private functions, and with many National contest wins (also a two time "Images of the King" World Competition Finalist), he soon realized that with 100,000+ acts, the Elvis Tribute business was an over-flooded market. 
When the hit movie, "Walk The Line" came out, Bennie was drawn to the story and music of the Legendary Johnny Cash. Then, after touring Sun Records (Memphis, TN) in the Summer of 2006,  he vowed to learn how to play the guitar that had collected dust in the corner of his office for so long, and give his best attempt as a Johnny Cash Tribute Artist. Instantly, Bennie realized that his vocal registry had an uncanny likeness to Johnny Cash in every way...even his normal speaking voice. And even from the first moment Bennie hit the stage as "Johnny Cash", it was perfectly clear how natural his tribute to The Man in Black came to him.
Bennie is proud to have his actual wife, RENEE' WHEELS, performing as "June Carter" in his act. Renee' looks and sounds incredibly like June, herself. And Bennie & Renee' share the same kind of love and chemistry that the Legendary Duo of Johnny & June had together onstage. Their act is second-nature to them...the closest and most authentic illusion to the real thing that anyone will ever witness.
