- Mellencamp, 74, calls the short run a temporary step back to big outdoor shows after years of theater performances to share these songs with fans again.
- Live Nation is producing the 19-date trek, which he says is unlikely to expand, and he expects his son Hud and partner Kristin Kehrberg to be on the road with him.
