Accolades for the tour’s opening night are already pouring in:
“For this opening-night performance, both Mellencamp and Carter came out confident and purposeful, ready for the 79 dates ahead to mine the roots of American music and investigate what it means to live and die.” –South Bend Tribune
“Friday night at a sold-out Louisville Palace, the 63-year-old Mellencamp had his share of fun—he’s always been a consummate showman—but there was an underlying richness to his set that was far more impressive.” –Louisville Courier-Journal
“John Mellencamp’s sold-out Plain Spoken Tour stop at the Aronoff Center for the Arts in Cincinnati felt more like 3,300 old friends getting back together rather than 3,300 strangers meeting for a night of music—that’s the effect of Mellencamp’s music. It feels good and familiar, like going back home after being away for years; and Saturday night, it felt damn good to all that attended.” –Out of the Blue
The Rock And Roll Hall of Famer and Grammy Award® winner released Plain Spoken on September 23, one of the most lauded records of his career, to rave reviews. Fans will receive a digital download of Plain Spoken with their ticket purchase.
