“We’re really excited for the first-ever Savor New England festival at Mohegan Sun as it builds on an already robust lineup of signature festivals on the Sun Patio and throughout our amazing property,” said Lauren Willard, Director of Special Events at Mohegan Sun. “We wanted to create an event and outdoor atmosphere that showcases the best of New England and thought there was no better way to do so than by bringing delicious regional seafood vendors together in one location.”

Roomful of Blues, the world-renowned, horn-powered, house rocking blues band, that has been delighting audiences for over 55 years is set to take the Sun Patio stage from 2:00pm – 3:30pm. On record and on stage, Roomful of Blues—led by master guitarist Chris Vachon for the past 25 years—continues to deliver its bone-shaking mix of original songs and carefully chosen covers ranging from jump, swing and proto rock ‘n’ roll to funky, contemporary blues. Performing from 4:00pm 6:00pm is the Rhode Island-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Will Evans. Through quotable folk-inspired lyrics, breezy grooves, and roots energy, it’s as if he’s giving you permission to be that pure self you can’t always be at work or even at home. He puts his words into action via his “Kind Folk” fan community, activating small acts of kindness, charity, and goodwill in tandem with performances nationwide.
