What started out in the early 60s as a garage band in southern California has now evolved into a solid piece of Rock and Roll history. In 1988, The Beach Boys were among the names inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the group claimed a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001. This special show will feature The Beach Boys performing everyone’s favorite Christmas classics.
Kenny Rogers is a prolific performer who has produced over seventy hit singles spanning multiple genres and charts. His awards and accolades form a lengthy list and cover over five decades. He has recorded over sixty-five albums, sold over 120 million albums and is considered the 8th best-selling artist of all time. Rogers’ Christmas & Hits Tour will encompass a variety of his Country hits as well as classic Christmas favorites.
There are many traditions throughout the holiday season, but none as magical as the Holiday Pops. This year, Keith Lockhart and the orchestra welcome the vocal virtuosity of the extraordinary Swingle Singers, a group whose name has become synonymous with flawless excellence and high-level entertainment since their ground breaking debut album Jazz Sebastian Bach in 1963. The current line up of young, gorgeous and talented singers is, of course, several incarnations from the original team – Ward Swingle affectionately refers to them as his “grandchildren” – however the sound remains unmistakably Swingle. The concert also features a special visit from Jolly Ole’ St. Nick and a time-honored audience sing along.
Mohegan Sun Arena is ranked the 4th best venue by Billboard Magazine and was the 2008 recipient of a Country Music Award for “Casino of The Year.” For more information on concerts and other great events at Mohegan Sun, visit mohegansun.com.
