All Weekend Long

Sugarland with special guest Sara Bareilles Friday, October 14th - 8:00pm Saturday, October 15th - 8:00pm  Mohegan Sun Arena$76.00 & $56.00 Tickets On Sale: June 25, 2011 at 10:00am
Please note: The General Admission pit is standing room only; there will be no seating in this area. Sugarland, the platinum-selling contemporary Country act, began as a trio of songwriters from the Atlanta area, each of whom had enjoyed some level of renown as a solo Country artist. Lead singer and songwriter Jennifer Nettles had previously fronted Soul Miner's Daughter, and her gospel background and deep soul approach to Country music made her an ideal front person for the trio. Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Kristian Bush had formed half (along with Andrew Hyra) of the critically acclaimed duo Billy Pilgrim, which had also released a pair of albums, while songwriter Kristen Hall had already released two solo albums on Windham Hill Records. The three musicians came together in 2002 and independently released Premium Quality Tunes, an EP of demo recordings (available online or at Sugarland shows), later that year. After building a buzz with their live performances, Sugarland signed with Mercury Nashville and released a two-song single ("Baby Girl" b/w "Stand Back Up") in early 2004. Twice the Speed of Life, their multi-platinum debut album featuring production by Garth Fundis, was released the same year. At the end of 2005, Hall left the group. A second full-length record, Enjoy the Ride, appeared in 2006 and proved to be a huge success, garnering attention in both Pop and Country quarters. For 2008's Love on the Inside, the band's remaining embers successfully lobbied Mercury Nashville to let them co-produce their own album and record in Georgia instead of Music City. The resulting album was the most organic of Sugarland's three records to date, and it spawned three chart-topping singles as a result. Sugarland truly became superstars in 2009. The year yielded them platinum status for Love on the Inside; a prime-time network television special called Live on the Inside (which resulted in a live album of the same name); Grammy Awards for “Best Country Song” and “Best Country Performance”; and, finally, their first Christmas recording, Gold and Green, which featured new holiday-themed originals as well as more traditional fare. The duo's fourth studio album, The Incredible Machine, influenced by the so-called "steampunk movement" in science fiction circles, arrived in 2010. Propelled by the Top 20 Pop hit "Stuck Like Glue," the album quickly went platinum

Gallagher Friday, October 14th - 9:00pm Saturday, October 15th - 9:00pm  The Cabaret Theatre$30.00 Tickets On Sale: Thursday, September 1, 2011 at 10:00am After graduating from the University of South Florida with a chemical engineering degree, Gallagher got his first taste of life on tour in 1976 as Jim Stafford's road manager. Stafford and Gallagher went out to California in 1979, and Gallagher decided to take the stage himself. He began honing his own comedy act while hanging out at both the Comedy Store and the Ice House. As his audience grew, Gallagher became most noted for wielding his trademark Sledge-O-Matic. He showered his audience with the pulverized remains of apples, oranges, lettuce, cottage cheese and pound cakes. Show goers turn up already "Gallagherized," wearing plastic raincoats, goggles, sunglasses and refer to the front of the theatre as "Death Row." Gallagher has the distinction of being the first real star to come out of cable television. To date he has done sixteen specials: Uncensored Evening, Mad as Hell, Too Real, Totally New, That's Stupid, Stuck in the 60s, The Maddest, Melon Crazy, The Bookkeeper, Over Your Head, The Messiest of Overboard, The Leap Year Marathon, We Need a Hero, Smashing Cheeseheads and the most recent Sledge-O-Matic.com. Being one of the most thoroughly calculating performers in the world of entertainment, he writes all of his own material, runs his own operation and does over 100 concerts a year, selling out the majority of them. All of Gallagher's affairs are handled exclusively by his company Sold Out Shows. Gallagher is a self-contained touring business with an agent, promoter and road manager all in-house. For the last twenty five years, Ruth Ann Propper has booked and promoted all of Gallagher's dates across the country. Gallagher calls Propper his "Personal Promoter," which he says every performer needs. Due to the fact that Gallagher wanted to be in control of his own business, he took off one hat as a comedian and put on another as a promoter and internet specialist.
