Sunday Concert - John Mellencamp




For a change of pace this summer we will be doing a Sunday Concert series.


John Mellencamp, (born October 7, 1951) is an American rock singer-songwriter, musician, painter and occasional actor known for his catchy, populist brand of heartland rock which emphasizes traditional instrumentation. He has sold over 40 million albums worldwide and has amassed 22 Top 40 hits in the United States.

Mellencamp's record sales in the US have earned him fifteen Gold Records and twelve Platinum Records and multi-platinum records.  In addition, two of his singles have gone Gold selling over 1,000,000 copies each.

Mellencamp is also one of the founding members of Farm Aid, an organization that began in 1985 with a concert in Champaign, Illinois to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and to raise funds to keep farm families on their land.
