Mohegan Sun is pleased to announce The Crafty Slice is officially open! The Crafty Slice offers freshly made pizza that is perfect for guests who are on the go and those who are looking for some late-night eats. The Crafty Slice is conveniently located at the Summer Entrance, right across from Mohegan Sun’s newly renovated outdoor entertainment venue, the Sun Patio.
“We wanted to open another quick bite option that is close to our two award-winning venues, Mohegan Sun Arena and the Wolf Den, and is also available for our late-night guests,” said Jeff Hamilton, president and general manager at Mohegan Sun. “We are thrilled that The Crafty Slice meets those goals, and it’s also convenient for guests enjoying more than 30 free shows at our new outdoor attraction, the Sun Patio!”
Pizza slices at The Crafty Slice are available starting at $5 each, and options range from vegetarian to pepperoni and a meat lover’s combo slice with pepperoni, sausage, chicken and meatballs. Guests can also snag grab-and-go options that include premade salads, grinders, snacks and the Walking Taco – a bag of Dorito or Frito chips topped with lettuce, tomato, housemade chili, queso, and sour cream. Those looking to fulfill a sweet tooth can try the specialty dessert style pizza or tasty churro bites served with a chocolate dipping sauce. Refreshing beverage options include beer, ready-to-drink cocktails, energy drinks and boozy slushies like the Casimigos Margarita. Signature, locally produced Mohegan-branded drinks, Jackpot Juice Hazy IPA, a collaboration with Two Roads Brewing Co. and All In Orange Whip, a collaboration with Waypoint Spirits, are also available.
The Crafty Slice is open Monday & Thursday from 5:00pm – Midnight, Fridays from 5:00pm – 3:00am, Saturdays from 3:00pm – 3:00am and Sundays from Noon – Midnight.

Earth, Wind & Fire was born in Chicago in 1969 and is still making music that crosses years and decades and now connects the 20th and 21st centuries. Rolling Stone Magazine said that Earth, Wind & Fire is “a Funk-fusion powerhouse that changed the sound and history of popular music.”
Inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, Earth, Wind & Fire has earned eight Grammy Awards and four American Music Awards. EWF has sold more than 90 million albums worldwide and remains one of the world’s top touring bands.
In 2013, Earth, Wind & Fire released, Now, Then & Forever on Legacy/Sony Music Entertainment. “The Now, Then & Forever album is really about the legacy of Earth, Wind & Fire,” said the group’s co-founder Philip Bailey. “The spirit of the band has always been about uplifting the consciousness of humanity. There’s a hope that this Earth, Wind & Fire music will go on forever.”
It’s a spirit echoed by fellow EWF co-founder Verdine White, who emphasizes the importance of the band’s incredible fanbase in the group’s abiding success. “The album gave us the opportunity to tie everything together musically and culturally,” he explains. “Without the support of the fans around the world, the Earth, Wind & Fire journey would not have been possible. We dedicate this album, Now, Then & Forever, to all the fans.”
One of the most important, innovative and commercially invincible contemporary R&B/Pop/Funk forces of the 20th century and beyond, Earth, Wind & Fire has been one of the world’s most reliably transcendent party bands. With a signature sound beyond categories and a groove as deep as the soul of the planet, Earth, Wind & Fire has proved–since its inception–profoundly influential…musically, socially and spiritually.
Successfully breaking musical genre boundaries across 23 albums, EWF have recorded eight #1 R&B singles and eight double platinum Top 10 Pop albums over the group’s career.
EWF has earned more than 50 gold and platinum albums worldwide, earning them a solid spot on the list of all-time bestselling music artists. VH1 ranked Earth, Wind & Fire on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of Rock & Roll.

Mohegan Sun Arena will welcome one of the most timeless and talented bands ever, when Earth, Wind & Fire heads to Uncasville, CT for a Saturday, June 21st performance.

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.

During the 1970s, a new brand of Pop music was born – one that was steeped in African and African-American styles – particularly Jazz and R&B but appealed to a broader cross-section of the listening public. As founder and leader of the band Earth, Wind & Fire, Maurice White not only embraced but also helped bring about this evolution of Pop, which bridged the gap that has often separated the musical tastes of black and white America. It certainly was successful, as EWF combined high-caliber musicianship, wide-ranging musical genre eclecticism, and ’70s multicultural spiritualism. “I wanted to do something that hadn’t been done before,” Maurice explains. “Although we were basically Jazz musicians, we played Soul, Funk, Gospel, Blues, Jazz, Rock and dance music…which somehow ended up becoming Pop. We were coming out of a decade of experimentation, mind expansion and cosmic awareness. I wanted our music to convey messages of universal love and harmony without force-feeding listeners’ spiritual content.”
EWF would go on to sell millions of records world-wide and have charted countless hits like “Let’s Groove,” “Celebrate,” “Reasons” and “Saturday Nite.” Their concerts are also incredible, as the band is well-known for giving fans one of the most exciting, high-energy and impressive performances of any live act of their era.
