Winner of the 2010 ACM award for “Top Male Vocalist of the Year,” Brad Paisley is one of the most popular live acts in Country music today. With the release of his eighth album, American Saturday Night, Brad proves once again that he remains a master of his craft – or, more accurately, his crafts. To date, the album has launched three #1 singles with “Then,” “Welcome to the Future,” and the title track, which became the sixteenth #1 of his career – and his twelfth consecutive chart-topper – making him second only to the great Sonny James as the solo Country artist with the most consecutive #1 singles in chart history. Paisley was also recently nominated for three CMA awards including “Entertainer of the Year,” “Male Vocalist of the Year” and “Music Video of the Year” for the single “Water.”
Mohegan Sun Arena was ranked the 4th busiest venue in 2009 by Billboard Magazine and was the 2008 recipient of a Country Music Award for “Casino of The Year.” For more information on concerts and other great events at Mohegan Sun, visit mohegansun.com.
