Happy 70th Birthday John Mellencamp

Wishing the wonderful John Mellencamp a sensational 70th Birthday!

Let’s face it, we wouldn’t be here without him! What a privilege it’s been, to have performed John Mellencamp’s ditties live, for more than 30 years now. Thank you to all you music lovers, for being there with us, along this incredible journey. Please join Gary & Anny this Saturday night from 7pm, for our Facebook event, livestreaming direct from Trapezi Greek Restaurant. We will honour the great man himself, and celebrate his 70th Birthday. As a special treat, we’ll have violinist Emma Rodda joining us too, don’t miss this!

2 Celebrations rescheduled to 2022

Due to the current Melbourne restrictions in place & the ‘Road map’ suggested, our upcoming celebrations have sadly now been rescheduled to 2022. We hope things will be a bit more settled then & hope to get back to gigs as we knew them.

Therefore, John Mellencamp’s 70th Birthday celebration at The Heights Live, has now been rescheduled to Saturday 2nd April 2022. Then wrapping up our 30th Anniversary tour, our York On Lilydale show has been rescheduled to Saturday 25th June 2022.

All ticket holders have been notified by Oztix and have the option of moving with the shows to the new dates, or requesting a refund. Hang in there folks, stay safe & we look forward to seeing y’all on the other side…

After an incredible 2 x SELL OUT shows this year at the Village Green, Scarecrow-The Mellencamp Show‘s ‘30th Anniversary Tour’ lands at another of Melbourne’s iconic rock venues, the ‘Chelsea Heights‘ on Saturday 7th August 2021.

We’ve had a lot of fun reminiscing about some of the sensational venues we used to perform at ‘back in the day’, plus we’re loving hearing your stories of how we’ve connected. We look forward to more catch ups next month…come say Hi at the Heights Live after the show. Tickets are selling fast once again, with more than 50% sold already – be sure to grab yours NOW!

Countdown is on! – Rock on May 1st

Not long now until we hit the stage at the Village Green Hotel on Saturday the 1st of May. We’d like to thank the venue for all they have done during these difficult times to help us prepare for Scarecrow’s 30th Anniversary.

We understand that quite a few of you have not been able to get tickets for this show and after the April 9th announcement that venues were going back to 100% capacity we were all hoping that more tickets would be available. Unfortunatley that’s not actually the case for Pubs and Clubs who are still operating under the square meter rule effectively limiting them to 30% capacity.

So in light of this I’m attaching a link to the Music Victoria explanation of just who is making these decisions. It’s certainly not the venues choice or fault to have these rules imposed on them as they too have done it very tough over the last 12+ months. We all need them and hope you can show your support by clicking on the link below and voicing your opinion to the right people to help us all get back to some sort of normalcy.
