Scarecrow – The Mellencamp Show delivers the Mellencamp experience and even the man himself Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee John Mellencamp agrees! Mellencamp complimented the act on being one of the most authentic and musically accurate interpretation of his songs he has seen….that coupled with the charismatic and energetic performance of Gary Young ensures a night of nostalgia…

Spread the word & share with your friends who may be locals…we’d love our debut at the Satellite Lounge to be out of this world! No better way to kick off 2017!!

Thanks to Justin Keppel photography for the great pic!

0 Happy New Year!

Wishing you, your family & friends a wonderful New Year!

Thought we’d share this Mellencamp New Years Eve performance from years gone by…

The man himself is singing some of your favourites including Jack & Diane, Hurt So Good, Lonely Ol’ Night, Play Guitar & even Honky Tonk Woman…

Quality of the video is not 100%, but we’re lucky someone has captured these moments.

Enjoy your night of celebrations tonight & we look forward to seeing you….

Haven’t seen this show before then you can expect to hear a great selection of Mellencamp’s hits, performed by a pretty slick band and fronted by the very charismatic Gary Young….’Hurt So Good’, ‘Cherry Bomb’, ‘Pink Houses’ and ‘Lonely Ol Night’ were the anthems of a generation and now the Classic hits of today.

Hit after hit its an amazing live experience that you cannot afford to miss!
