Performing in the Arena on October 22nd

UNCASVILLE, CT (May 16, 2016) – Country superstar Sam Hunt has announced plans to hit the road this fall, and he will be making his way to Connecticut for his debut performance in Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday, October 22nd at 8:00pm.
Tickets are $99.00 & $79.00 and go on sale Saturday, May 21st at 10:00am through Ticketmaster.  Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com or call Ticketmaster’s national toll free Charge By Phone number 1.800.745.3000.  Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Sunday, May 22nd, subject to availability.
At first glance, Sam Hunt might seem like a fairly typical young Country singer—he grew up in a small southern town; spent his school days concentrating on sports, but feeling his attachment to music grow deeper and deeper; and came to Nashville with little idea of how the music business worked, but with big dreams.   But a closer look instantly reveals that there is nothing typical about the music that Hunt makes, nor about the way he has introduced his work to the world. In a short time and on his own terms, he has become one of Nashville’s most hotly anticipated new artists, and his debut album, Montevallo, delivers on the buzz and the promise—and then some.
