CashBack: Johnny Cash Tribute Band

CashBack, based in Birmingham, AL, is arguably one the best Johnny Cash tribute bands around. Led by Leif Bondarenko, CashBack has been performing their outstanding rendition of Cash classics at venues around the country, since early 2018. The band’s five core members, all veteran players, are: Leif Bondarenko (lead vocals, drums), Gary Edmonds (electric and acoustic guitars, vocals), Eric Onimus (bass guitar), Joshua Green (acoustic and electric guitars, vocals), and Tommy Bowen (trumpet, keyboard, vocals).  And in the tradition of all those great June-and-Johnny duets, the lovely and talented Lannette Brasher joins the group as special guest vocalist, adding another authentic and exciting dimension to the CashBack experience.

EINSTEIN! Celebrating 100 Years of General Relativity

EINSTEIN! is a one-person theatrical play telling the true story of a younger, pre-crazy haired Albert Einstein trying to prove general relativity against all odds. Written, researched and starring Jack Fry as Einstein.

It’s 1914 in Berlin, and Einstein’s world is crumbling around him. Despite WWI raging, a backlash from the international scientific community, and his own family struggles, Einstein still manages to come up with one of the most important pillars of physics and accomplish one of the greatest achievements of the human mind: general relativity.

Students will learn of and appreciate Albert Einstein as one of the most important scientific icons of all time, whose ideas helped usher in the modern technological age that they so
much enjoy.
