Mohegan Sun will host four days of exclusive autograph signings beginning April 15th
Last year, Mohegan Sun featured an exclusive week-long Massachusetts themed Signings & Sightings series that hosted star-studded personalities like Lenny Clarke, Dwight Evans and Bill Walton. This spring, Mohegan Sun is doing it again with a great new lineup of celebrities, set to kick off on Friday, April 15th and continuing on through Monday, April 18th. The signings will take place on the Spin Street Stage in The Shops at Mohegan Sun and will feature WEEI radio personality and former Red Sox player Lou Merloni, Hall of Famer and Celtics great Dave Cowens, New England Patriots Hall of Famer Andre Tippett and Boston Bruins great, Terry O’Reilly.

Also a Cape League Hall of Famer, Merloni joined his hometown team, the Boston Red Sox in 1998 and remained with the organization through 2003. After his playing days, Merloni stayed in the Boston scene by becoming a regular guest on various WEEI sports radio shows, most notably “The Big Show” with host Glenn Ordway. His insight, knowledge and candor on all sports, especially baseball, is one of the main factors that contributed to him recently being named the regular co-host with Mike Mutnansky on the all-new “Mut & Merloni,” show which airs weekdays from 10:00am – 2:00pm.

Like previous NAPT events, Mohegan Sun will also feature a $10,000 + $300 Bounty Shootout tournament, which is an open event with an 81-player capacity.

Both the Main Event and the Bounty Shootout will be filmed by 441 Productions and broadcast on ESPN2 in May and December 2011.
Ray Pineault, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Office at the Mohegan Sun, said: “We are thrilled to once again be hosting the North American Poker Tour here at Mohegan Sun. Last year’s inaugural event was such a huge success and we anticipate this year’s event will bring out even more big names from within the poker community.”

Selbst, who came first and won $750,000 at last year’s event, said: “Winning my first major main event at NAPT Mohegan Sun was one of the great highlights of my career. It was my first major main event win, and in my home state of Connecticut, which made it so much more meaningful for me. I can’t wait to get back to Uncasville and make it two in a row!”
Jeffrey Haas, spokesman for NAPT, said: “We are delighted to be heading back to Mohegan Sun where last year we had a field of 716 players for the $5,000 NAPT Main Event. The players loved the first class experience of the poker room, and we are looking forward to partnering with the casino once again and hoping to build on the success of last year with even bigger fields and prize pools.”

Jack Ingram takes the stage April 2nd
Poco performs on April 15th
Lee Brice is live on April 16th
Rusted Root heats things up on April 22nd
Eddie Money rocks the joint on April 30th
The Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun will continue to thrill this spring, beginning with Country singer Jack Ingram on Saturday, April 2nd, followed by Country musicians Poco on Friday, April 15th. Lee Brice brings his rugged Country sound live in the Den on Saturday, April 16th and Rusted Root will bring their Bluegrass Rock to the Wolf Den stage on Friday, April 22nd. Finally, the 80s come alive again as Wolf Den Hall of Fame inductee Eddie Money arrives in the Wolf Den on Saturday, April 30th. 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 guests must be 21 or over.
Jack Ingram remains in the forefront of Country music with the album Big Dreams & High Hopes, the seventh studio album of his career and his third for Nashville maverick indie label Big Machine Records. And you’ve probably already heard the swimming hole party anthem “Barefoot and Crazy” which quickly became a radio smash and a soundtrack for the hot summer of 2009.
Pioneers of the Country Rock sound that soared out of California in the late 60s and early 70s, Poco was the inspiration for bands like The Eagles, Firefall, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Pure Prairie League, Little River Band and The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, as well as the new breed of Country Rock acts.
Lee Brice’s sounds reflect the rugged feel of steel guitar and fiddle, the images of growing up in a world of fields and farms, of heartbreak and hard work. Lee Brice is Country all the way. It’s in his voice – think of it as honey trickling through lines of melody etched in leather – and in the images it conjures, of “Country girls and redneck boys” anticipating the night to come in the sunset glow of a Dairy Queen (“Sumter County”) and of growing up “on the edge of a cornfield” (“Picture of Me”).
Pittsburgh-based band Rusted Root is well known for their style of blending Bluegrass Rock and strong percussion. They have released several albums to date including a greatest hits collection and their latest effort Stereo Rodeo. They are best known for their hits “Send Me On My Way” and “Ecstasy.”
Wolf Den Hall of Fame Inductee Eddie Money hit the Top 40 with “Two Tickets to Paradise” and “Baby Hold On,” and had a huge success with “Take Me Home Tonight,” his music/ video collaboration with the legendary Ronnie Spector. A perennial favorite for Wolf Den audiences, Money always delivers big-time.

In 1986, Poison released their debut album, Look What the Cat Dragged In.

Earth, Wind & Fire is one of the most musically accomplished Funk bands of the 70s, incorporating Jazz, Smooth Soul, Gospel, Pop, Rock & Roll, Psychedelic, Blues, Folk, African music and Disco. EW&F was started by Maurice White, a Memphis-born, Chicago-reared drummer, who wanted to form a band that abolished the lines between musical genres. He wanted to be able to freely borrow from all styles of music without regard to convention.
