The pair will sing songs from the Sun Sessions as well as Cash's country hits and gospel standards.
Among his favourites, Ring of Fire, Walk the Line, Boy Named Sue and Ghost Riders in the Sky.
Henke's last performance at Port Moody's Inlet Theatre was sold-out.
Tickets for The Point Pub show are $25 by calling 604-492-2524 or 604-888-9536.
