John Mellencamp
JOHN MELLENCAMP Born October 7, 1951 in Seymour, Indiana, John Mellencamp fell in love with music at an early age and was gigging in local bars and fronting a soul band by the time he was 14. His professional music career began in earnest in 1976 when MCA Records released his first album, The Chestnut Street Incident. His manager dubbed him Johnny Cougar out of his belief that nobody would buy a record by anybody named Mellencamp. John protested but was overruled and eventually, of course, reclaimed his birth name as his public name. After releasing a few albums, he broke out in 1979 with his first hit, "I Need A Lover" In 1982 his fifth album American Fool was the year's best-selling album on the strength of two huge hits, "Hurts So Good," and the number 1 single "Jack & Diane,"!! The albums that followed in the 80's, Uh-Huh, Scarecrow, Lonesome Jubilee, and Big Daddy, were released under the name John Cougar Mellencamp. Hit singles during this period included "Crumblin Down," "The Authority Song," "Small Town," "Rain On The Scarecrow," "Lonely Ol Night," ""R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A.," "Paper In Fire," "Check It Out," "Cherry Bomb," "Pop Singer," and "Jackie Brown." Mellencamp took the music on the road with a band that many considered the best in the business, playing approximately 1,000 shows around the globe during the decade. In 1985, John's concern for the plight of the American farmer, which had been voiced in the Scarecrow album, brought him together with Willie Nelson and Neil Young in launching Farm Aid.

Review Van Morrison Ruth Eckerd Hall Clearwater Florida Setlist
Review: Van Morrison stretches out, settles in brilliantly for the first of three sold out shows at Clearwater’s Ruth Eckerd Hall His 20 song song, 90 minute set was sort of a warm up and victory lap at the same time. RAY ROA , CHRIS RODRIGUEZ — JAN 18, 2017 2 AM Van Morrison plays Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida on January 17, 2017. CHRIS RODRIGUEZ Van Morrison's childhood was soundtracked by blues and jazz men like Jelly Roll Morton and Sonny Terry. When he was about 11 years old, his father — a shipyard electrician with a voracious appetite for music — bought him his first guitar. There was a saxophone after that, and by the time Morrison was 19 years old he was singing “Gloria” as a part of Them — a little band from Belfast in Northern Ireland. That song would go on to be considered one of the greatest of all time. It’s in the Grammy Hall of Fame. Bowie, Springsteen, Hendrix and even Bill Murray have covered it. So, on Tuesday night, as the now 71 year old living legend from Northern Ireland effortlessly sang “Gloria” to close out the first of three sold out shows at Clearwater’s Ruth Eckerd Hall, it was hard not to wonder: is the seemingly immortal Van Morrison a man or some kind of mystic? STREAM A PLAYLIST OF SONGS VAN MORRISON PLAYED IN CLEARWATER ON JAN. 17, 2017 His warbly, seemingly inebriated sing-speak delivery is in near perfect shape. He looks infinitely cool in his pressed suits, and you almost don’t want to see what he’s thinking behind those trademark sunglasses.
