ABOUT JOHN MELLENCAMP
John Mellencamp’s career in music, spanning more than 35 years, has seen him
transition from pop star to one of the most highly respected singer/songwriters
of a generation. Mellencamp is incredibly acclaimed; he is a member of the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame, a Grammy winner, a recipient of the John Steinbeck Award,
ASCAP Foundation’s Champion Award, The Woody Guthrie Award and Americana Music
Association's Lifetime Achievement Award and more recently, the Founders Award,
the top honor assigned by the American Society of Composers, Authors and
Publishers. Additionally, he was recently inducted into the Songwriters Hall of
Fame this past June. He is also one of the most successful live concert
performers in the world. In 1985, Mellencamp, together with Willie Nelson and
Neil Young, created Farm Aid. The social activism reflected in his songs helped
catalyze Farm Aid, the concert series and organization that has addressed the
struggle of American family farmers for more than 25 years.
As well, John journeyed into the darkness of coal mining life in his reverent cover of Merle Travis' 1946 song "Dark as a Dungeon," recorded in support of National Geographic's acclaimed documentary about the mining industry, “From The Ashes,” produced by Michael Bloomberg, former NYC Mayor.
John continues to focus on another facet of his artistic expression:
painting. His style has progressed over the years as evidenced by several
gallery shows and published portfolios, and in recent years he has increased his
output by completing over 100 new works. He had his second solo exhibition this
past Spring in New York and has a current exhibit at the famed Butler Museum in
Youngstown, Ohio from September 20th through January 19, 2019. His highly
successful Rock and Roll Hall of Fame exhibit ran for nearly two years and is
now at the Woodie Guthrie Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma from September 1st through
November 18, 2019.
Mellencamp continues his journey as the walking embodiment of rock icon;
passionate, plain-spoken, and a self-proclaimed rebel. John Mellencamp continues
to live and work in Bloomington, Indiana.
