Why see John Mellencamp?

The Legendary Roots Rocker

Singer-songwriter pioneer John Mellencamp continues to tour playing music from his back catalog as well as more recent albums, including 2022's Strictly A One-Eyed Jack. In addition to his musical career, Mellencamp is also an accomplished painter, actor, and film director. Don't miss the 'Voice of the Heartland' when he takes to the stage in your town this year!

Mellencamp's career stretches back some over thirty years, and he has molded his brand of dusky heartland rock to every new genre and style that comes along. From Springsteen-Esque anthems to stripped down, T-Bone Burnett produced country songs, his sharp and simple lyrical style that is unerringly able to pinpoint the mood of the nation has continued to shine through. Among his best-known tracks are 'Jack and Diane', which spent four weeks at Number 1, and 'Hurts So Good'. Along the way, he's been awarded a Grammy and been inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Great Show by the Showman Mellencamp

I had a fabulous time! John played 17 songs - just enough. The concert was neither too long nor too short. (Although, selfishly, I've always loved Deep Blue Heart and hope, one day, to hear it live.) John's voice was strong. The band was spot-on. And the crowd was into it. The perfect mix of song, dance, and storytelling! Thank you John for returning to Baltimore and making my night a memorable one. ... Read more

Mellencamp @ Baltimore

Music was good. Venue and mix acoustics left something to be desired. 25 min biopic was a waste of time. ... Read more

getting better with age

loved the old movie clips (never had seen Fugitive Kind/ Charlie5) and the show was better than expected. Loved the story about his gramma who called him buddy. His backing band was superb and John knows how to run the show to perfection. The only oddity to me is why can't he add When Jesus Left Birmingham to the setlist at least once just for Birmingham? According to the setlist website, he's only played it 5 times ever- all in 1994, in PA(2) MA, IL and Quebec. Hopefully he will add that as a surprise next time. ... Read more
