Aaron Lewis will be taking part in a “Signings & Sightings” event immediately following his show in the Arena on February 28th

UNCASVILLE, CT (February 16, 2009)— Spin Street and Mohegan Sun are excited to join forces once again for an exclusive “Signings & Sightings” event with well-known rocker Aaron Lewis.  This special appearance and CD signing will take place on the Spin Street Stage in The Shops at Mohegan Sun concourse immediately following his performance in Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday, February 28th.  This “Signings & Sightings” event is sponsored by Spin Street and The Shops at Mohegan Sun.  Aaron Lewis’s CD will be available leading up to and on the day of this event at Spin Street. 

Tickets to the Aaron Lewis performance are $45.00 and $35.00 and are on sale now at the Mohegan Sun Box Office and through Ticketmaster.  Ticketmaster customers may log onto ticketmaster.com; call Ticketmaster’s national toll free Charge By Phone number 1.800.745.3000 or visit any Ticketmaster outlet. 

As the co-founder and lead singer of Massachusetts-based Alternative Rock band Staind, Lewis is the innovator behind some of the most memorable songs of the past decade, including the #1 single “It’s Been a While,” which spent sixteen weeks on Billboard’s Modern Rock chart.  After an unprecedented string of thirty sold-out solo shows in Mohegan Sun’s Cabaret Theatre since 2004, demand has propelled the show to move to a bigger venue.  Lewis will perform solo acoustic versions of well-known hits and fans will get the chance to interact with him as he takes requests from the audience. 

Due to the short timeframe for the event and the number of fans expected Lewis will only be signing copies of his CD.  No memorabilia of any kind can be signed.

renowned artists.  In addition, the program provides entertainers the opportunity to get
