One More Round, a Johnny Cash tribute band out of St. Louis, Mo., will be playing The Old Terp, its name restored, in Austin on Saturday, just one day shy of when Cash performed in Austin on March 30, 1963.

The show is part of a larger effort by the new owners of The Old Terp and the 1910 Mexican Kitchen & Pub to bring back the days when big names and sounds filled the old ballroom.
