(MADISON, NJ) -- Human Wheels, the premier John Mellencamp tribute band, will perform at the Concert Hall at Drew University on Saturday, September 13, 2025 at 8:00pm.

Human Wheels performs more Mellencamp in one night than Mellencamp himself! Check them out and enjoy classics like Pink Houses, Authority Song, Cherry Bomb, Small Town, Rain on the Scarecrow, Jack and Diane, Hurt So Good, I Need a Lover, Paper in Fire, Lonely Ol' Night, R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. and much, much more.

Tickets are $40 and available for purchase online or by calling 917-567-5842. The Concert Hall at Drew University is located at 36 Madison Avenue in Madison, New Jersey.

Human Wheels has been playing concerts, festivals, theaters and clubs since 2000. When the two founding members – Ted and Tim Keitler – decided to retire, the remaining members re-formed the band in 2021.

The band faithfully recreates the songs, whether they are studio or live versions of John Mellencamp. Their drive, musical ability, showmanship, and dedication to duplicating the Mellencamp live experience simply cannot be outdone.
