Jon McLaughlin to Bring Holiday Cheer Back to Indiana with Special Performance at Palladium
Singer-songwriter Jon McLaughlin is set to return to his Indiana roots for a holiday concert at the Palladium in Carmel, a venue he fondly describes as his favorite place to perform. Originally from Anderson, Indiana, McLaughlin now resides in Nashville but attributes much of his artistic influence to his Midwestern upbringing.
“I’m thrilled to be back at the Palladium for the second time,” McLaughlin expressed. “The acoustics are incredible, and I’m excited to bring some special guests this year.” This concert is part of a growing tradition that allows McLaughlin’s local family—who still reside in Anderson and Indianapolis—to experience his music firsthand.
Drawing from personal life experiences, McLaughlin’s songwriting is deeply rooted in family and his Midwestern background. “That Indiana, Midwestern mentality is in everything I do,” he emphasized. As he prepares for his performance, he reflects on how his music, particularly holiday songs, serves as an avenue for creative exploration. “My Christmas stuff lets my soul speak a little more,” he shared.
Celebrating the 15th anniversary of his debut album “Indiana,” McLaughlin continues to evolve, infusing influences from music legends like Billy Joel, Elton John, and Harry Connick Jr. into his soulful, piano-driven style.
Looking ahead, McLaughlin hopes to establish this annual holiday show at the Palladium as a beloved tradition, stating, “I’d be so happy if this became a holiday staple year after year.” Fans can expect an evening filled with heartfelt originals and soul-stirring holiday classics, making for a memorable addition to the season’s festivities.
