About Thomas Rhett
Ten years after signing his record deal with Big Machine Label Group’s The Valory Music Co., arena-packing superstar Thomas Rhett — dubbed “the most reliable maker of No. 1 singles in country music” (Variety) — has 19 multi-PLATINUM and GOLD-certified No. 1 hits, 12 BILLION streams and the longest current active streak of consecutive No. 1s in the format (Mediabase/Country Aircheck Chart). Declared “a prince in the genre” (USA Today), he has been honored with eight ACM Awards including Entertainer of the Year, two CMA Awards, five GRAMMY nominations, plus trophies from the CMT Music Awards, Billboard Awards and iHeartRadio Awards, in addition to being recognized with two CMA Triple Play awards for penning three No. One songs within a 12-month period. The superstar’s critically-acclaimed sixth studio album WHERE WE STARTED is available now, with single “Half of Me,” featuring Riley Green, currently Top 5 at Country radio. Thomas Rhett has also just released his first-ever Christmas collection MERRY CHRISTMAS Y’ALL, featuring his rich vocal and sincere delivery, with a country flair on four favorite festive tracks. Inspired by family, friends and his love of the outdoors, Thomas Rhett is also the cofounder of Dos Primos Tequila and has collaborated with Chaco on an exclusive sandal line.

About Cole Swindell
Multi-Platinum selling superstar Cole Swindell released his fifth studio album, Stereotype, to massive success. The project has already charted three back-to-back multi-week No. 1 hits: the Gold-certified “Single Saturday Night,” the Platinum-certified “Never Say Never” (with Lainey Wilson) and, most recently, the Platinum-certified, five-week chart-topper “She Had Me At Heads Carolina.” In the seven years since his debut on Warner Music Nashville, Swindell has racked up an impressive 12 No. 1 singles as an artist – 13 as a songwriter – 11 certified Platinum singles (four singles at 2x Platinum), a Platinum-certified debut album (Cole Swindell) and a Gold-certified sophomore album (You Should Be Here). The Georgia hitmaker has over 5.2 BILLION global career streams. His massive, GRAMMY-nominated hit “Break Up In The End” was named the 2019 NSAI Song of the Year. Swindell is nominated for two CMA Awards for Musical Event of the Year and Music Video of the Year for “Never Say Never” with Lainey Wilson. He officially became a headliner on his own in 2018 with his Reason To Drink Tours, and is currently out on the road with Ashley Cooke and Dylan Marlowe for his Back Down To The Bar Tour.
About Nate Smith
With a mix of gritty backwoods soul, rock ‘n’ roll swagger and velvet-thunder vocals, Nate Smith first chased his neon dreams to Nashville in his early 20s – but it didn’t stick. The disheartened Smith returned home and thought he was “100-percent done” with his artistic journey…until a crucible of change burned away the past. In 2018, Smith lost everything he owned in the devastating Camp Fire which tore through Paradise, California. Although his family was safe, he struggled to cope and turned back to music, hoping that it would help comfort himself and others. Help it did, inspiring a month-long road trip across the U.S. to Music City, writing music and playing dive bars along the way. Soon after his arrival to Nashville, Nate released his biggest song to date, “Wildfire,” and landed a publishing deal with Sony ATV. Since then, he’s released new music including “Sleeve” and “Under My Skin,” which has amassed over 70 million on-demand streams to date. The singer was named a Spotify Hot Country Artist to Watch for 2021 – an accurate prediction as he rounded out the year with a record deal with Sony Music Nashville and is now making waves with his latest release, “Whiskey On You,” which is now Gold-certified and Top 15 and climbing at country radio.

The East Coast’s premier resort, today announced the release of its new, captivating season of the highly anticipated, original TV series, “Back of House.” Season 6 is all about celebrations and will feature six brand new episodes streaming weekly on backofhouse.tv, beginning October 12 at 7:30PM EST. This season will reach a whole new level of excitement while showing the audience how integral team members and guests are to making Mohegan Sun the East Coast’s premier entertainment destination.
“Back of House Season 6 – Good Times for Everyone!” is a digital TV series highlighting behind the scenes moments of 10 hospitality professionals working with Mohegan. This season an all-female cast and crew take viewers through their daily lives as Mohegan Sun Team Members, which provides direct insight into the teams’ collaboration skills and strategic decision making. Featured team members include Kara F., Erica T., Lauren W., Lauren L., Kim N., Nikki C., Lacee C., Dana L., Lindsay C. and Cindy L. This season shows several highly anticipated events such as the return of Terrificon, the annual Asian Lion Dance ceremony, the resort’s 25-anniversary, Miss America’s 100th anniversary and finally, Mohegan Sun’s sister property, ilani, celebrating 5 years – reaching a major milestone in the construction of its new hotel.
“We’re thrilled to continue highlighting Mohegan Sun’s remarkable Team Members showing what it takes to be a part of one of the largest integrated entertainment resorts in the world while delivering exceptional entertainment and hospitality,” said George Galinsky, SVP of Marketing Communications at Mohegan. “Our favorite part of Back of House is providing viewers and guests a look at the inner-workings of our esteemed brand and resort, and doing so in a way that is unlike how any travel brand has done it before.”
Award-winning production studio, Primal-NY, will also be returning for the sixth season to document all Mohegan Sun’s historic moments. “The authenticity of the cast members in this digital series allows viewers to have a peek behind the curtain into the thrill that is Mohegan Sun,” said Robert Conticelli, President of Primal-NY. “The intricacies of Mohegan’s celebrations have been fascinating to film over the past year, and we’re thrilled to continue sharing this with viewers everywhere.”
Season 6 will bring six all-new episodes, featuring both new and familiar faces as Mohegan Sun commemorates celebrations of all kinds:
- Episode 1: A Terrific Time
There are exciting, but strange characters walking all around Mohegan Sun, and that can only mean one thing; Terrificon is back in the Expo Center.

Once the festival is in full swing, Nikki takes the opportunity to show her family all the hard work that she and the team put in. Nikki, kids, and Dana walk the entire floor together and get a visit from an unexpected co-worker.
- Episode 2: Year of the Tiger
Bringing an important piece of Asian culture to Mohegan Sun’s team and guests, Cindy prepares for the Chinese New Year, celebrating the Year of the Tiger. This includes both an Arena concert with Jonathan Lee and the annual Lion Dance ceremony. Cindy and various departments work together to prepare for the event and create an important video highlighting the festivities. Cindy recruits several members of the executive team to help her – and while it’s a lot to manage, it’s Cindy’s favorite holiday, and she’s determined to make it the best it can be.
- Episode 3: Cheers to Mohegan Sun – Part 1
It’s been 25 remarkable years since Mohegan Sun opened its doors, and before getting ready for a star-studded weekend, it’s time for the team to reflect on some of the memories that put Mohegan Sun on the world stage. Derrick, Erica and others tell the story, from opening day of the resort to all the special moments that put the destination on its path to becoming one of the biggest, best and most talked about in the world. As we travel back in time, we also start to look forward to an amazing party in honor of the occasion and a weekend of big fun, big wins, and big entertainment.
- Episode 4: Cheers to Mohegan Sun – Part 2
Get the champagne out because Blake Shelton, Harry Styles, Run DMC and many more guests and celebs are “all in” to celebrate Mohegan Sun’s 25th anniversary. Lauren and Lindsay are just two of the many Team Members tasked with making sure the weekend goes according to plan. All of this while also planning a luxurious red carpet after-party at TAO Asian Bistro & Lounge. There’s a lot of running around and last-minute changes, but the team is determined to celebrate this monumental occasion without a hitch or a glitch.
- Episode 5: 100 Years Young
Miss America is celebrating their 100-year centennial and where better to do it then at Mohegan Sun. Dana and Lacee have a busy schedule helping them pull together and execute a comprehensive game plan for this special occasion. This includes a Labor Day parade, a 100-year anniversary dinner, preliminary competitions, and the live broadcast finale from the Mohegan Sun Arena.
