Get Rhythm back in Geelong

Get ready for an unforgettable tribute to two country music legends with the return of The Johnny Cash and June Carter Show.

Mark Caligiuri and wife Joanne portray the iconic singers in the energising and authentic show, featuring hits like Folsom Prison Blues, Walk the Line, and Ring of Fire.

Joanne said it was great to bring Get Rhythm back to Geelong after last year’s success, and audiences can prepare for a toe-tapping experience at Geelong West Town Hall on November 23.

“The way we portray the characters is very much like the real Johnny Cash and June Carter, but it’s still done in a respectful way and in our own way,” she said.

“Johnny Cash and June Carter are quite amazing people and great characters to play. When you go back and watch some footage of them on stage together, there’s something about them.

“I don’t know if it’s a spiritual thing, but you just feel so good watching them and, being husband and wife, they had that natural connection, and that was part of what drew us to the characters.”

Mark and Joanne celebrated 19 years together on November 5 after meeting each other in 2005 at a Mark’s Elvis tribute show.

“It’s the ultimate goal as a married couple to be doing what you both love and sharing the stage together,” Mark said.

“We really want to engage and make people happy. It’s not just that we’re married but we share the same goals and because of that we get along beautifully,” Joanne said.
