Hi to all Scarecrow, John Mellencamp and live music loving fans. I would like to thank you all for a great year. We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead and seeing you all in 2025. Have a great and safe Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all. Cheers Gary x
This milestone show also honours the 40th Anniversary of Mellencamp’s legendary album ‘Scarecrow’, featuring timeless top ten hits like ‘Lonely Ol’ Night’, ‘Small Town’, ‘R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.’, and ‘Rain on the Scarecrow’. Released in July 1985, Mellencamp’s 8th studio album, peaked at No.2, on the US Billboard 200; the overall theme of the album is the fading of the American Dream in the face of corporate greed. Rolling Stone wrote that songs such as “Face of the Nation”, “Minutes to Memories” and “Small Town” have a “bittersweet, reflective tone”. We’ll be performing the ‘Scarecrow’ album in its entirety, plus loads more Mellencamp hits.
Experience the heartland rock sound that defined a generation, brought to life by a band whose passion for Mellencamp’s music has spanned decades. Don’t miss this night of celebration, heartfelt nostalgia, and electrifying performances that pay tribute to one of the greatest albums in rock history. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to his artistry, this is a truly special night you won’t want to miss!
Let’s honour two incredible milestones, celebrating 35 years of an iconic Melbourne band and paying tribute to a true American legend & 40 years of his album ‘Scarecrow’!
