John Mellencamp

John Mellencamp invited listeners inside his Belmont Mall studio in Indiana for what felt less like a broadcast and more like a living-room jam session. Hosted by Jim Kerr, the special blended loose, hit-filled performances (“Small Town,” “Pink Houses,” “Hurt So Good”) with candid reflections on staying rooted, aging honestly, and why now felt like the right time to return to amphitheaters. Mellencamp also previewed his upcoming Dancing Words Tour: The Greatest Hits, promising a deep-catalog setlist fans have been asking for for years. The result was one of the most personal iHeart broadcasts ever—proof that, even after five decades, Mellencamp’s music still sounds best played where it was born.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
