Mr. “Jack and Diane plays three nights in a row in Clearwater his first full tour post-COVID, and he’s got his new album, Strictly a One-Eyed Jack to work off of, as well as his fabled career.

Mellencamp is also being sponsored by Turner Classic Movies—on which he has been a guest programming host before—a first for him, as he has never openly been sponsored by anything while on the road. But ain’t that America?

Tickets to see John Mellencamp play Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Monday-Wednesday, Feb. 13-15 are still available and start at $53.25.
