Ivy Tech says that one of the Community College’s professors will be giving a presentation at the Johnny Cash Heritage Festival this weekend.

The festival, running Thursday through Saturday in Dyess, Ark., will include a talk by Professor Aaron Miller as part of the panel, “Delta Themes in the Music of Johnny Cash.” on Friday. That will look at how Cash’s life growing up among the cotton fields along the Mississippi Delta influenced Cash’s music.

Miller, who teaches at the Columbus campus, has a bachelor’s degree in economics and a masters in history from Purdue, and a doctorate from Miami University.

The festival ends Saturday night next to the Cash Home, with a concert featuring Rosanne Cash and Kris Kristofferson.
