ABOUT J.R. MARTINEZ:
J.R. Martinez and dance partner Karina Smirnoff are the winners of the mirror ball trophy of Season 13 of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. He is an actor, spokesman and retired soldier. He played Brot Monroe on the Emmy Award winning daytime drama All My Children.
At 17, J.R. and his family moved to Dalton, GA where he played strong safety in his senior year at Dalton High, a team that went to the Georgia State Championship.
An injury during the season derailed his plans of playing ball in college and possibly beyond. The Army came next and by September of 2002, J.R. underwent training at Fort Benning, GA where he gained skills as an 11-B Infantryman. In March of 2003, J.R. was deployed to Iraq and less than a month into his campaign while serving as a driver of a Humvee in Karbala, his tire hit a land-mine. Three other soldiers were ejected from the burning vehicle, while J.R. was trapped inside suffering smoke inhalation and severe burns to more than 40 percent of his body. He spent 34 months in recovery from the vicious injury he suffered. His story from this point on is one of sheer determinedness, will, dignity and resilience. It’s these qualities along with what ended up being legitimate dancing talent that made him such a beloved figure on Season 13 of Dancing With The Stars. He is continually called on upon for a wide range of speaking engagements and has been featured in the LA Times, The Washington Post, The New York Times and PEOPLE Magazine as well as numerous national TV news and network talk shows.
ABOUT KARINA: For the past six years, Karina Smirnoff has made her mark on primetime television as one of the professional dancers on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. She is the reigning champion, winning Season 13 with her inspirational partner, J.R. Martinez. She came to the series during season three with a plethora of accomplishments including five U.S. National Championships, the U.S. Open, the Asian Open and the U.K. Open. Smirnoff was even ranked number two in the world. In June 2009, she made her Broadway debut in the show Burn the Floor which opened to rave reviews and sold out performances.
Born and raised in Ukraine, the multi-talented dancer started to study dance when she was a mere five-year-old. Her parents exposed her to a multitude of activities including ice skating, gymnastics, ballet and piano lessons. Ultimately, it was dance that prevailed. She started to compete in ballroom dancing by age 11. Her family’s move to the U.S. when she was a teenager provided her with new opportunities; however, it was her strict training and the discipline gleaned from growing up in Ukraine that provided her with the foundation that she needed to be a successful competitor.

Exploration of Terroir with Neil Bernardi- Migration Winemaker
Presented by Neil Bernardi, Migration Duckhorn
Since crafting its premiere vintage of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir in 2001, Duckhorn Wine Company’s Migration has earned acclaim for a refined and compelling style of winemaking that seamlessly balances vibrancy and finesse. Today, guided by winemaker Neil Bernardi — a cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay specialist — Migration has taken flight. Defined by the idea of movement, Migration is dedicated to going beyond its original home and exploring Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from California’s finest cool-climate appellations. “Traditionally at Duckhorn Wine Company,” says Neil, “the character of a particular wine is deeply connected to a specific place or region. Migration offers a different paradigm. We are starting with a clearly defined style and exploring how that style can be expressed in different winegrowing regions, which is a fascinating prospect.” Join Neil Bernardi in a unique and exciting seminar as he tastes you on his award winning Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs from the Anderson and Russian River Valleys. Together you will explore Chardonnay through the lens of its best vineyards, and through the most expressive fruit sources of this white varietal. You’ll then learn about Pinot Noir and how terroir plays an important role in the blending of this red varietal. This seminar will help you gain a better understanding of how a winemaker goes about making a vineyard designated wine versus a blended wine, and reveal many details about the winemaker’s approach and philosophy when making a wine. The seminar will take place from 3:00pm to 4:30pm on Sunday, January 29th at Todd English’s Tuscany. Tickets to the seminar are $60.00 per person.
Tickets for the Grand Tasting, Elite Cru Tasting and Bubbles & Bon Bons may be purchased online at ticketmaster.com, sunwinefest.com, over the phone at 1.800.745.3000 or in-person at the Mohegan Sun Box Office.

Presented by Ford F-Series, Country superstar Toby Keith with special guest Rodney Atkins will rock Mohegan Sun Arena on February 3rd
Fresh off winning the “Artist of the Decade Award” at the American Country Awards, Toby Keith with special guest Rodney Atkins will bring the Locked & Loaded tour presented by Ford F-Series to Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, February 3rd at 8:00pm. Keith will feature many of his longstanding hits as well as songs off his latest album, Clancy’s Tavern. His latest single “Red Solo Cup,” was recently featured on the hit FOX television series Glee.
Tickets are $85.00 and $65.00 and go on sale Friday, December 16th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com; call Ticketmaster’s national toll free Charge By Phone number 1.800.745.3000; or visit any Ticketmaster outlet. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, December 17th, subject to availability.
From his first single and #1 smash “Should’ve Been A Cowboy,” to his latest album and Billboard Top Country Album chart-topper Clancy’s Tavern, Toby Keith has been one of the most consistent self-directed hit makers of his era. He’s now in his 18th consecutive year having had a #1 single every year since his first release. This latest collection’s lead single, “Made In America,” hit the top of the charts as one of the fastest rising songs in a long line of chart burners from Keith’s pen. And Toby’s new single, “Red Solo Cup,” has become the most remarkable and commercially successful new country singles in recent memory with a viral video with millions of views while topping the top downloaded country songs.
In the history of recorded music, artists exhibiting that kind of consistency and longevity are in an exclusive club. Keith, however, may be in a class by himself. His albums have sold more than 35 million copies, ranking him among the top-selling all-genre artists on Billboard’s Top 200 Artists of the Decade. Keith is also Billboard’s # 1 Artist of the Decade and #1 Country Songwriter of the Decade. His tours, long sponsored by Ford Trucks, have drawn more than one million fans each year for the last decade including this year’s Locked & Loaded Tour. And his roster of I Love This Bar And Grill restaurants continues to grow. His recently launched signature spirit Wild Shot, has become the #1 premium mezcal in the U.S. These, among other endeavors, have earned Keith annual recognition from Forbes as one of the very top-earning entertainer/musicians in the world.
But Toby’s most rewarding experiences, as exhibited in his continual devotion to them, come from giving back. Whether it’s helping sick children and their families in his native Oklahoma through the Toby Keith Foundation or visiting American soldiers at forward operating bases in international war zones, Keith has never lost touch with the most important things in life. Surely that perspective and work ethic contribute to his ongoing success as a singer, songwriter and entertainer.
