of John Mellencamp. TRACK LISTING: ABOUT JOHN MELLENCAMP 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. His pieces were shown in 2012 at the
Tennessee State Museum in Nashville under the under the title “Nothing Like I
Planned: The Art Of John Mellencamp” and, more recently at the Butler Institute
of American Art in an exhibition entitled “The Paintings Of John Mellencamp.”
“The Paintings of John Mellencamp” traveled to the Museum of Art-DeLand, Florida
and John’s art was showcased at the ACA Gallery in New York. The unique
instrumentation of his band and his poignant songs about everyday life in the
American heartland, are widely credited with being the forbearer of the
Americana/No Depression genre of rural-inflected music. An extraordinary
collaboration performed by an ensemble cast of 15 actors and a four-piece live
band, comprised of members of John Mellencamp’s band is The Ghost Brothers of
Darkland County, a musical with music and lyrics by John Mellencamp, a libretto
by author Stephen King and production by T Bone Burnett. The show is being
further developed in London, though King and Mellencamp are no longer as
actively involved. Mellencamp continues his journey as the walking embodiment of
heartland rock; passionate, plain-spoken, and a self-proclaimed rebel. ABOUT EAGLE ROCK Eagle Rock Entertainment is the world’s largest producer and distributor of
