This will be a night to remember at Memo Music Hall: Celebrating 35 Years of Scarecrow – The Mellencamp Show and 40 Years of our namesake –‘Scarecrow’ – the album!
Up next for us, this milestone show, honouring 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. 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’!
