Rosanne Cash

It’s often a difficult path when children try to follow in the footsteps of their famous parents; most times they’re crushed by the weight of expectations. Not so for Rosanne Cash, Johnny’s eldest daughter. She’s fashioned a tremendous discography of her own over the past three decades, earned Grammys, written notable short fiction and essays, and furthered the Cash family legacy in her own unique way. Tonight, she’ll sit onstage with NPR’s Michele Norris – host of All Things Considered – for a wide-ranging conversation about her work and her family. Of course, Cash will also perform a bunch of her own tunes and a few traditional country standards, too. MICHAEL ALAN GOLDBERG
