NACOGDOCHES COUNTY, TX (KTRE) -
Each year singer, song writer and
Nacogdoches native Kasey Lansdale hosts a workshop for local musicians.
For this year's workshop
John Carter Cash, son of Johnny and June Cash made his way to Texas, to help
local musicians with their songwriting. The musician also gave background on
his musical family from a more personal aspect.
Cash recalled moments in his childhood when
he would go on stage with his father, saying he knew even as young child music
is what he wanted to pursue.
"Song writing is freedom to me. I just
follow my heart and my spirit where ever it may lead in the songs. It's about
opening up, its about inspiration and I write songs because it's cathartic,
it's a matter of the spirit," said Cash.
Cash
spends most of his time behind the scenes and has been a producer on five
Grammy award winning projects. He recently released a book called "House of
Cash, a look into the life of his father.
