Jacksonville, FL melodic-rockers Cold have been forced to postpone their 8:00pm show in the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun on Saturday, October 29th due to illness. Information on the rescheduled concert will be posted to the band’s website www.coldarmy.com when it becomes available.
Doo-Wop and R&B legends, The Brooklyn Bridge, who were already scheduled to appear in the Wolf Den on Sunday, have agreed to come in early and perform on both Saturday and Sunday. The show for Saturday, October 29th night is still scheduled for 8:00pm.
The Brooklyn Bridge was created in 1968 when two bands, The Rhythm Method and The Del-Satins featuring Johnny Maestro, merged. They recorded hit after hit beginning with their first gold record for Jimmy Webb’s, “The Worst That Could Happen.” Other hits include “Welcome Me Love,” “Blessed Is The Rain” and “Your Husband, My Wife.” The Band’s countless television appearances include The Ed Sullivan Show.

Rubix Kube brings back the 80s on November 3rd
Charo takes the stage on November 5th
Blue Oyster Cult arrives on November 12th
Leon Russell is live on November 18th
The Postelles heat things up on November 27th
Mohegan Sun’s Wolf Den is bringing in an array of talent this November beginning with the popular 80s cover band Rubix Kube on Thursday, November 3rd, followed by legendary artist Charo on Saturday, November 5th. Blue Oyster Cult bring their chart topping hits to the Wolf Den on Saturday, November 12th. Mohegan Sun is proud to also welcome performer Leon Russell to the Wolf Den stage on Friday, November 18th and The Postelles will cap off the month with a performance on Sunday, November 27th. Friday and Saturday Wolf Den shows begin at 8:00pm and Sunday shows are at 7:00pm unless otherwise noted. Admission is free, but all patrons must be 21 or over.
Rubix Kube is taking the country by storm as the most original 80s cover band of all time. Headquartered in NYC, they perform a one-of-a-kind “Back To The Eighties Show” every Saturday night at Canal Room in the heart of Tribeca. Rubix Kube is more than just a tribute band – it’s a totally awesome, true 80s experience! Every super-charged show takes it to the max, guarantees to set the roof on fire and brings the house down (metaphorically speaking).
Charo is a household name. Instantly recognizable for her witty humor, loveable accent and her mastery of the flamenco guitar. It is Charo’s trademark expression: “Cuchi-Cuchi,” which has endeared her to the world and made the name Charo synonymous with fun and excitement.
New York-based group Blue Oyster Cult has been electrifying audiences for decades with their blend of Hard Rock improvisation. Influencing many of today’s biggest Rock bands, Blue Oyster Cult is a pioneer of the Heavy Metal music scene and they are still going strong.
Leon Russell is a music legend and perhaps the most accomplished and versatile musician in the history of Rock ‘n Roll. In his distinguished and unique 50 year career, he has played on, arranged, written and/or produced some of the best records in popular music including “A Song For You,” “Tight Rope” and “Slippin’ Into Christmas.”
Playing propulsive Pop tunes with a streetwise energy and attitude that’s pure Rock & Roll, The Postelles are a four-piece band born and bred in New York City. In 2007, the Postelles began playing out, and they soon gained a valuable ally in Albert Hammond, Jr., guitarist with the Strokes. Hammond liked The Postelles’ music enough to help produce a six-song EP for the band; the EP earned enthusiastic reviews and some British radio play. The buzz helped The Postelles set up a tour of Europe which included shows in London and Paris, and back home in the States the band was booked into two major summer festivals, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza.
