Dan Whyms knows how to walk (very close to) the line. The actor/musician is nationally renowned for his portrayal of the Man in Black in Johnny Cash Returns: The Living Tribute. The musical revue features Whyms and the Rock Island Band ย which now includes Cashยs piano man Earl Poole Ball ย thundering through hits ยFolsom Prison Blues,ย ยI Walk the Line,ย ยBig Riverย and ยHighway Man.ย Whyms has managed to win over Cashยs fans ย his 2006 run in Galveston sold out ย and in light of the showยs latest addition, a tribute to June Carter Cash (featuring up-and–coming country star Lori Freda), there is definite possibility of a repeat reaction. 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. Moody Gardens Hotel and Convention Center, Seven Hope Boulevard. For tickets and information, call 800-547-4697 or visit www.galvestonmusicals.com. $25 to $35.
