John Mellencamp’s self-narrated musical odyssey, Plain Spoken: From The Chicago Theatre surpasses the confines of a concert film or documentary – it’s a portrait of one of music’s most celebrated songwriters. The cinematic film presents John Mellencamp, with his full band, performing at the landmark Chicago Theater on October 25, 2016, just 250 miles to his home in Bloomington, IN.

It’s more than watching John Mellencamp live – it’s experiencing John Mellencamp. With special guest Carlene Carter adding to the set, Plain Spoken: From The Chicago Theatre presents live versions of John Mellencamp’s cherished songs, as well as taking viewers on an intimate and personalized journey.
