John Mellencamp Tickets
John "Cougar" Mellencamp is a rock legend with a grammy award, twenty three albums and an upcoming Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction under his belt. Mellencamp started his career in 1975 with his album "Skin it Back", but is most famous for his 1985 record "Scarecrow", which is considered one of rock and roll's classic albums.
John Mellencamp's music incorporates a heatland and roots rock style, popular with many of the great rockers of his generation, such as Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty. Mellencamp will be officially united with these and other legendary rockers in March, when he is scheduled to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame-the ultimate rock and roll honor.
In 2008, John Mellencamp successfully released his twenty third album, "Life, Death, Love and Freedom" and continued his international tour, which included dates in Canada and New Zealand.
