02/26/2013 - John along with his full band will headline the MJ&M Gala Night on April 11,
2013 at ACL Live at the Moody Theater as part of MJ&M’s inaugural, two-day event
in Austin, Texas. The Mack, Jack & McConaughey (MJ&M), is a joint fundraising
effort of actor Matthew McConaughey, musician Jack Ingram and The University of
Texas Head Football Coach Mack Brown that works to impact the lives of kids by
investing in programs dedicated to empowering children. Opening for John
Mellencamp will be Austin’s very own Dale Watson. Last year Dale was part of the
cast in the Atlanta stage production of Ghost Brothers of Darkland County.
“John is one of my all-time favorite musicians and a man I call a friend,”
said McConaughey. “He’s someone who has put his best foot forward to help others
in need and I am honored and proud to have him perform at this event.”
