A Tribute to "The Man in Black"
comments
The Johnny cash tribute that you boys perform has got to be one of the best in the country. If you have your back to the stage you would think the man in black was in the building. You could fool Stevie Wonder. Thank you for filling our room at The Red Martini Grill with all of your great performances. We look forward to many more years of your company and mostly your friendship. Thank you all again for your professionalism and mostly the spirit in to what you revive in the one and only Johnny Cash... Thanx

Just wanted to express our appreciation, for the show that you brought to us at The Eagle River Casino and Travel Plaza in beautiful Whitecourt, AB.
Your combination of talent, quality and attention to recreating the Johnny Cash Experience made for one of the best shows that have been on our stage.
Top that off with being a great bunch of guys and you have the recipe for great entertainment. Highly recommended. We look forward to your next engagement. Thank you
RANDY – STAGE MANAGER AT THE EAGLE RIVER CASINO AND TRAVEL PLAZA

"BIG RIVER of course is as close to the original man-in-black Johnny Cash as you can get. However the real charm about this band is they are all so talented. Lead singer David Pittet's voice is so rich he could be performing anyone's music and it would not matter...you would still be hanging on his every word."

If you were to close your eyes while watching a performance of the TRIBUTE BAND BIG RIVER, you'd swear JOHNNY CASH was up on stage. Even with your eyes open, the spirit of the "MAN IN BLACK" is definitely in the room. This is a must see performance for anyone who's a fan of country music's most provocative entertainer.

Congratulations on a full house, totally successful dance. People love your music and raved about Dave's moves, just like Johnny Cash used to do. You were all fantastic!

I must say that the entire band is very polite, they aren't afraid to chat for a while, and Dave is always open for requests and dedications!"
Big River IS the BEST Johnny Cash tribute band I have ever seen! I actually met Dave at The Stampede after he was doing a promo video shoot for a news station. He played "The Man Comes Around" and was quite impressed that I knew ALL the lyrics.
Always have time to see Dave when he comes through Calgary! Haven't missed a show yet!
