Live in Wolf Den on October 21st
Joining the stellar lineup of entertainment for Mohegan Sun’s 15th anniversary is iconic performer Stephen Stills. Accompanied by opening act Josh Hisle, Stills and company will rock the Wolf Den stage on Friday, October 21st at 8:00pm. Admission is free, but all guests must be 21 or over.
Stephen Stills is the only artist ever to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice in one night—with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills & Nash. On the recording side, Stills’ most recent release is 2009’s Live At Shepherd’s Bush (Rhino), which captures the artist in fine form at a 2008 London concert. In 2007, Rhino released the historic collection Just Roll Tape – April 26th 1968—the title’s date references a long-gone day in a NYC studio when Stills recorded 12 demos after his then-girlfriend Judy Collins had finished her session. Lost for 40 years, the tapes contained the first-ever takes of songs that would later become Stills solo hits as well as tracks by CSN, CSN&Y and Manassas, including “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” “Wooden Ships” and “Helplessly Hoping.” Stills debuted as a solo artist with 1970’s now-classic album Stephen Stills, featuring the signature song “Love The One You’re With”—the latest album in his solo repertoire is 2006’s Man Alive!.
Stephen Stills is #28 on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time.” For more than four decades, through his solo work and a as member of the stellar groups Buffalo Springfield, Manassas, Crosby, Stills & Nash and CSN&Y, he has helped shape the popular music landscape and remained one of its most enduring artists. On tour this fall, Stills will perform songs from throughout his career.
