Watching John Mellencamp perform in his own Belmont Mall studio outside Bloomington felt like crashing a jam session with an old friend. He played classics like “Small Town” and “Pink Houses” with the same raw honesty that’s defined his career, sharing stories about staying rooted in Indiana and his deep ties to IU football. Mellencamp’s upcoming “Dancing Words Tour” promises a setlist packed with hits—even songs he hasn’t played in decades. He’s also working on a new album and a musical. What do you think: does hearing music in the place it was created change how you feel about it? #Entertainment #Music #JohnMellencamp
