John Mellencamp in Concert
John Mellencamp has been bringing his brand of American heartland rock to fans since the late '70s, when his raw, rootsy sound set him apart from the arena rockers in vogue at the time. The Midwestern twang that adds to his signature vocal style also informs his songs, as he details the ups and downs of the everyday working folks he grew up among. The rough-and-ready roots-rock sound he perfected on milestone '80s albums like ‘American Fool’ and ‘Scarecrow’ has remained a crucial touchstone for Mellencamp's concerts, regardless of where he falls in the roots–rock spectrum at any given phase. And when he delivers classics like "Jack & Diane," "Pink Houses," "Small Town," or "Hurts So Good," he digs deep for a gritty, from-the-gut delivery that connects with his audiences in an immediate, visceral way. From his 2017 Sad Clowns and Hillbillies tour with guests Emmylou Harris and Carlene Carter to his 2018 Other People's Stuff tour, Mellencamp's latter-day outings have shown that the veteran road dog only gets tougher and more determined.
John Mellencamp Background
John Mellencamp was born in Indiana in 1951, and worked with a series of bands throughout his teens, but in the mid '70s he managed to hook up with David Bowie manager Tony DeFries, which led to his first record deal, under the name Johnny Cougar. He scored his first hit, the rocking "I Need a Lover," in 1979, but it was his 1982 album ‘American Fool’ that really broke him through to the big time. The massive hits "Jack & Diane" and "Hurts So Good" made him a bona fide rock star. On subsequent '80s albums like ‘Uh-huh’ and ‘Scarecrow,’ Mellencamp (finally working under his own surname) developed the sharp, sociopolitical side of his lyrical sensibilities. On songs like "Pink Houses," "Small Town," and "Scarecrow," he sang of and for the working people who are the heart and soul of America, and Mellencamp became an American icon in the process. But despite his Grammy award, his mega-Platinum record sales, and his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame membership, Mellencamp has never lost sight of the people who put him where he is, and they're still the focus of his music.
Great concert at a great venue. John is the greatest songwriter of our time. Thank you for sharing your music with us.
Took my mother and Aunt to see John Mellencamp. The band and Mellencamp was amazing. We really enjoyed the concert.
Classic rocker who can still sing. Mellencamp was an amazing show. The venue was so intimate, you felt very close to the artist. Not a bad seat in the house. The sound was very good, only a few times overwhelming. Overall an excellent performance
People and venue was great. The only thing that needed improvement was the stage lighting.
From the pricey ticket price to the fear that he would walk off stage as in recent shows to the 25 minutes of classic film clips to the stage set to the apparent political views not shared by all to the seeming mocking of his grandmother’s religious beliefs. The last 30 minutes were his only saving grace. By far the strangest concert I have ever been to.
Had a great experience. Enjoyed every minute of the show. It was surprising how laid back everything was. Glad we got the opportunity to go to this event.
Loved this show. John Mellencamp has been a favorite of mine for years! His show was great and I loved the venue.
What a great performance, Mellencamp had the entire theatre singing along and on their feet!
First time seeing John Mellencamp and it was so good. He is 72 y/o and sang his heart out. I had good seats so I could see everything well. Would love to see him again if he is in the ATL or Savannah area.
The show was amazing! His voice sounded great, his little stories were heartwarming, and he played old songs as well as new ones. Great night!
