The music icon performs live on Sunday, March 15th
UNCASVILLE, CT (September 10, 2025) – Mohegan Sun is excited to announce that legendary musician John Oates will bring an unforgettable live performance to The Cabaret Theatre (The Cab) at Mohegan Sun on Sunday, March 15th during this 7:00pm show. The Good Road Band will join Oates in support.
Tickets to see John Oates and his timeless classics go on sale Friday, September 12th via Ticketmaster.com. Tickets are also available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, September 13th, subject to availability.
Although many people around the world know him as the co-creator of the Pop group Hall & Oates, this versatile artist’s musical roots run deep. As a young child in the early 1950s John’s life and influences parallel the evolution of American Rock and Roll. Playing and singing from the age of five he was born into a life of music. “I am old enough to remember music before the birth of Rock and Roll so when it hit, I was aware that something new and groundbreaking had happened”. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, the Everly Brothers and Elvis laid the foundation and the regional sounds crackling out of the AM radio from labels like Stax Volt/ Specialty / Sun / Chess were Oates’ sonic pallet from which to draw inspiration.
In the early 1960s, when the folk revival swept the college campuses, John emersed himself in songs he heard from all the newly rediscovered artists, many of whom traced their careers back to the 1920s and 30s at the beginning of phonograph recordings. Living in Philadelphia at that time John haunted the coffee houses and festivals to hear folks like Mississippi John Hurt, Doc Watson, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee and spent many Saturday nights at the fabled Uptown Theater to experience R&B greats like Sam and Dave, Otis Redding, the Temptations, Curtis Mayfield and James Brown. It was from these early influences that John Oates became the musician he is today. A keeper of the flame, an Americana amalgamation of all that he heard and all that has come before him.
Now Oates has turned up the wick on his latest solo project the more groove oriented and Pop R&B influenced self-titled OATES album…a modern collection of new original songs that will remind fans of the classic Soul he produced in the 70s and 80s but again always playing homage to the roots of the music that made him who he is today.
