Mellencamp and his band -- Mike Wanchic (guitar), Andy York (guitar), Dane Clark (drums), John Gunnell (bass), Miriam Sturm (violin) and Troye Kinnett (keyboards) have just completed work on tracks for a new, as yet untitled album recorded at Mellencamp�s Belmont Mall studio, near Bloomington, IN, produced by T Bone Burnett. While a broad spectrum of Mellencamp�s repertoire, reflecting four decades of recording, will be represented in the fall tour dates, it is also expected that some of the unreleased songs from the new sessions will be previewed as well.

Likewise, Los Lobos -- Cesar Rosas, Louie P�rez, Steve Berlin, Conrad Lozano and David Hidalgo -- will be highlighting songs from the breadth of their career, including their latest album Town and City, using musical molds built on the blues, rockabilly, jazz, Latin and their own Mexican-American heritage.

On Thursday of this week (9/6) Mellencamp will perform on NBC�s NFL kickoff telecast on immediately preceding the Indiana Colts vs. New Orleans Saints� season opener. Following that, Mellencamp will journey to New York�s Randall�s Island where, on Sunday, September 9th, he will perform as part of this year�s Farm Aid 2007: A Home Grown Festival along with his Farm Aid co-founders Willie Nelson, Neil Young and Dave Matthews with Tim Reynolds plus The Allman Brothers Band, Counting Crows, Matisyahu, Guster, The Derek Trucks Band, Warren Haynes, Supersuckers, The Ditty Bops, Montgomery Gentry and others.
