Alamo Jones Obituary, Death – In a somber moment for Nashville’s music community, we must convey the heart-wrenching news of the passing of Alamo Jones, also known as Chance Martin, a true Nashville legend. Alamo Jones, whose life was intertwined with the city’s rich musical heritage, left us last night after a prolonged battle with multiple health issues. He was 71. Born and raised in the heart of Nashville, Chance Martin grew up amidst the melodies and rhythms that defined Music City. He found his calling as the cue card handler on all 58 episodes of “The Johnny Cash Show” on television, marking the beginning of his remarkable journey in the entertainment industry.
Through this role, he formed a deep friendship with the legendary “Man in Black” himself, Johnny Cash. Alamo’s career evolved over the years, and he later became a lighting director, contributing his talent to various productions while fostering lifelong friendships with many of the industry’s luminaries. In 2005, he embarked on a new adventure by joining Sirius Satellite Radio as the sidekick on “The Cowboy Jack Clement Show.” After Cowboy’s passing in 2013, Alamo continued the legacy, and the show was renamed “The Alamo Jones Show” on SiriusXM, capturing the hearts of listeners nationwide.

He was a cherished Music City character, a friend to all who knew him, and a guardian of the traditions that made Nashville the heart of American music.
