Carlene Carter To Join John Mellencamp On 80-Date Tour

Carlene Carter is set to join John Mellencamp’s 8o-date Plain Spoken North American Tour.
Carter called her selection as Mellencamp’s special guest, “an honor and a privilege,” adding, “I’m thrilled to been chosen to share the stage with one of America’s greatest songwriters. He has a strong appreciation for our Carter Family roots and, of course, he and my mom [the late June Carter Cash] were mutual admirers as were he and ‘Big John,’” a reference to Carlene Carter’s stepfather, Johnny Cash.
The tour will launch in Mellencamp’s home state of Indiana on Jan. 21, 2015.  The tour will run through August of next year and will also end in his home state of Indiana.
All Plain Spoken shows will be on sale next Friday, Sept. 19.
This Saturday, Carter and Mellencamp, along with Willie Nelson, Neil Young, Dave Matthews, Jack White, Gary Clark, Jr., Jamey Johnson, Todd Snider and other artists will appear at the 29th annual Farm Aid benefit concert at Walnut Creek Amphitheatre in Raleigh, N.C.
