Delivery of food was made on March 19th, after the temporary closure of Mohegan Sun
UNCASVILLE, CT (March 20, 2020) – Mohegan Sun, which has enjoyed a long
and impactful relationship with The United Way of Southeastern Connecticut (UWSECT), sent two truckloads of food (equivalent to nearly 15,000 meals) to the Gemma E. Moran United Way/Labor Food Bank in New London, CT this week.
Faced with refrigerators full of food across various Mohegan Sun dining outlets, and a temporary closure just underway due to the emerging global health crisis, Mohegan Sun jumped into action with community partners, UWSECT, to donate what amounted to twenty pallets of food that included fruit, vegetables, dairy products and other perishable food items. The donation will be combined with additional donated foods at Gemma E. Moran, and will be shared amongst a network of 60+ traditional pantries across Southeastern Connecticut and UWSECT’s ten monthly mobile food pantry distributions.
“It’s been a tough week for many communities and businesses alike, but to team up with United Way of Southeastern CT and ensure we make good use of a significant amount of surplus food, was really inspiring,” said Jeff Hamilton, President & General Manager of Mohegan Sun. “We’re incredibly thankful to everyone who was involved in this effort and hope it is a positive contribution to the dedicated work that organizations like United Way and food centers like Gemma E. Moran do every day.”

**The En Vogue show at Mohegan Sun Arena that was previously rescheduled for Thursday, April 15, 2021 has been postponed again to a TBD date. Your ticket will be honored for the new rescheduled date.
Live on Friday, April 17th
UNCASVILLE, CT (March 9, 2020) – En Vogue, brings three decades of hit singles including songs from their most recent album Electric Café to Mohegan Sun Arena. Performing on Friday, April 17th at 8:00pm, En Vogue members are Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron-Braggs and Rhona Bennett.
Tickets are $25.00 and go on sale Friday, March 13th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, March 14th at 10:00am, subject to availability.
Legendary! It’s a status very few groups ever attain. But for 30 years and counting, En Vogue has achieved this pinnacle on nothing but pure talent. Still riding high off the global release of 2018’s Electric Café, their first album in 14 years, En Vogue is literally soaring, taking the group to even greater heights.
Formed in 1989 in the Bay Area, En Vogue, comprised then of Ellis, Herron, Dawn Robinson and Maxine Jones, began their official takeover in 1990 with their hit single, “Hold On” from their critically-acclaimed debut album, Born To Sing, which reached #1 on both the Dance and R&B/Hip-Hop charts. Since then, they have sold over 20 million physical albums. More impressively, they have transitioned effortlessly into the digital age, garnering over 30 million streams and 26 million plus YouTube views for their top six hit singles alone, which, in addition to “Hold On,” includes “Free Your Mind,” “Never Gonna Get It,” “Giving Him Something He Can Feel,” “Don’t Let Go” and “Whatta Man” (feat. Salt-N-Pepa).
Doubling down on their En Vogue legacy has yielded tremendous fruit. “Rocket,” their Ne-Yo-penned, lead radio single from Electric Café, blends the group’s signature harmonies with a futuristic language for romance, became their first Top 10 single in 20 years. To date, the video, playing up the intergalactic love vibe, has nearly 2 million YouTube views.
Wisely, the critically acclaimed album builds on all that makes En Vogue great-killer vocals infused with class. Keeping their sound fresh hasn’t been hard for the trio. “We were just looking for a vibe,” says Herron. “In the beginning, we were feeling that electronic dance sound, but then the music started to evolve creatively.” Barrett chimes in that “we love the authenticity of Hip-Hop and the fusion of Old School Rhythm with a Contemporary sound.”
The result has been stunning. In addition to “Rocket,” other standouts include “I’m Good,” “Déjà vu” “Blue Skies,” and “Have a Seat” featuring Snoop Dogg. The album overflows with key messaging about women’s empowerment, self-love and healthy relationships.
At the top of 2018, the trio treated their European fans with shows in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Holland and Germany. In the United States, they stay on the road and in our ears, as their music is heard in such films as Captain Marvel and What Men Want as well as such TV shows as Pose and 9-1-1. En Vogue also hopes to add more acting to their credits, which includes their own 2014 Lifetime film, An En Vogue Christmas.
The ladies give back with The HollyRod Foundation, which provides medical, physical and emotional support to families living with autism and individuals battling Parkinson’s disease, as well as non-profit organizations that rescue victims from human trafficking and provide them with educational and job training, topping their philanthropic efforts.
Mohegan Sun Arena is now ranked consistently among the top venues in the world according to Billboard Magazine, Pollstar and VenuesNow. Mohegan Sun Arena is consistently ranked among the top three “Arenas in the World for its Size” and top 15 in the “World for All Size Venues.” The award – winning venue is the “#1 Casino Venue in the World,” “#1 Social Media Venue in the World” and an eight – time national award – winner for “Arena of the Year.” For more information on concerts and other great events, visit Mohegan Sun.
