The Voice of the Heartland hits the road once again!
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.

John Rocked but the Audience was rude
He was great and personable but the audience not so much— rude, drunk and not really wanting to hear the show. He actually had to say something to people who were screaming and not letting him sing. Seriously Seattle audience was disgusting laughing at serious stuff, tell him to fast forward through a story and screaming stupid stuff as he told us about a song or life moment. It was so bad that our whole row found other seats ... Read more

Great show by a solid performer.
Great show by a solid performer. Rarely do the performers of the 70'2/80's generation enough energy from the audience to have people literally standing almost the whole show.
Mellencamp seemed to enjoy the show - despite some gent (idiot as he called him) trying to get him to sign a book in the middle of the show. Mellencamp pointed this out to the
person in between songs and shook the persons hand as they both apologized. A few songs later Mellencamp signed the book and joked to the audience about it.
Anyway, back to the show. Solid performance from Mellencamp and all band members - most notably a great fiddle player who gave it her all. ... Read more

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
