To hear Jennifer Nettles tell it, it’s a brand new day in Sugarland. Despite winning multiple Grammy, CMA and ACM awards—and selling more than 9 million records—the Country music duo of Nettles and Kristian Bush is embracing a creative rebirth, a musical awakening that permeates their adventurous fourth album, The Incredible Machine.
“We are in a place of discovery,” Jennifer says. “It is the essence of who we are as people in this band. There is never a moment where we think, ‘This is good enough.’ There’s always a place for growth.”And what they’ve created is a dynamic masterwork. Co-written and co-produced in full by Jennifer and Kristian, The Incredible Machine is a soaring album elevated by sky-high choruses, ringing guitars and pulsing drums that recall the beating of the album’s titular engine, the human heart.
Mohegan Sun Arena is ranked the 4th best venue by Billboard Magazine and was the 2008 and 2010 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.

ABOUT TERESA: Growing up with parents who emigrated from Italy, New York Times bestselling author Teresa Giudice, the striking, tell-it-like-it-is star of Bravo’s hit television series The Real Housewives of New Jersey, had the best of both worlds: modern America outside her door, and Old World Italy in her kitchen. As a busy working mother of four young children, Teresa always makes time to make homemade meals because she learned from her own mother: “When you cook from the heart, your entire family feeds on the love.”
In her much-anticipated second cookbook FABULICIOUS! Teresa’s Italian Family Cookbook, Teresa combines her two passions—food and family—in 60 more Giudice family recipes straight from Salerno with an emphasis on preparing, serving and eating meals with the ones you love.
