PRE-SALES START WEDNESDAY! - JOHN MELLENCAMP'S SAD CLOWNS & HILLBILLIES 2017 SUMMER TOUR ANNOUNCED
John Mellencamp has announced his all-new Sad Clowns & Hillbillies Tour. Kicking off in June and running through September, John will be joined at most shows by special guest and 13-time GRAMMY-Award-winning singer-songwriter Emmylou Harris, as well as his Plain Spoken tour mate Carlene Carter, and folk-pop sister duo Lily & Madeleine.
Every online ticket purchased for the June & July concerts come with one (1) physical CD of John Mellencamp's forthcoming album, Sad Clowns & Hillbillies. John’s 23rd full-length album, featuring Carlene Carter, returns Mellencamp to the musical eclecticism that is, itself, a reflection of his wide-ranging musings on life. Sad Clowns & Hillbillies showcases a poet who has wisely used the years between youth and the present day to become an absolute master of songwriting and interpretation. That passion and experience resonates most beautifully in this showcase of his music. Sad Clowns & Hillbillies is set for release in April from Republic Records. Read the complete press release on Mellencamp.com.
