Sophie B. Hawkins makes her Wolf Den debut on February 18th
Alien Ant Farm rocks the joint on February 19th
Country star Buddy Jewell brings some twang on February 20th
Soul Asylum returns to the Den on February 27th
The Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun will continue to thrill this winter, beginning with Marky Ramone’s Blitzkrieg on Thursday, February 11th, followed by SafetySuit on Friday, February 12th. Philadelphia natives Sister Sledge Featuring Kathy Sledge will bring soul to the Wolf Den stage on Saturday, February 13th. Singer/songwriter Sophie B. Hawkins will be live on Thursday, February 18th and Alien Ant Farm will take over on Friday, February 19th.

Friday and Saturday Wolf Den shows begin at 9:00pm and Sunday shows are at 7:00pm unless otherwise noted. Admission is free, but all patrons must be 21 or over.
Marky Ramone is best known for the fifteen years he spent drumming for the legendary Ramones. The band is responsible for the big hit, “I Wanna Be Sedated.” Marky shows no signs of slowing down as he continues to tour the world with his new band Marky Ramone’s Blitzkrieg, with friends Michale Graves (ex-Misfits) on vocals, Alex Kane on guitar and Clare B on bass.
SafetySuit is an extraordinarily-talented, musically-confident young band that does, in fact, inspire. Their songs capture the grandeur and depth of U2, with an imaginative Pop sensibility at its core and a dizzying wall of guitars as its backdrop. “It’s not rocket science,” says singer/guitarist Doug Brown. “Quintessential good melody and good lyrics, that’s what makes a song.”
Sister Sledge Featuring Kathy Sledge became a household name with the release of We Are Family. The song and the album went on to reach the #1 position on every imaginable chart all over the universe and earned a Grammy nomination. That album also spawned two additional hit songs, “Lost in Music” and “He’s the Greatest Dancer.” As the lead singer of Sister Sledge, Kathy went on to sell several million more albums with many popular singles, including “Got to Love Somebody,” “All American Girls,” “My Guy” and “B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Baby).”
Sophie B. Hawkins emerged in 1992 with a fierce bidding war for her debut album, Tongues & Tails. The Columbia Records release quickly went gold, earned her a Grammy nomination for “Best New Artist” and fired a single, “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover,” into the Top Five. Another gold album, Whaler, followed two years later along with the single, “As I Lay Me Down” that would chart in Billboard for a record-breaking sixty-seven weeks.
Alien Ant Farm burst onto the Alternative Rock scene in 2001 with their platinum-selling album ANThology. The album spawned the hit single “Movies” as well as a cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” which attained crossover appeal in the Pop genre.
Buddy Jewell’s voice is the voice of experience. It has a friendly, “lived in” quality because, as the old saying goes, he has “been around.” Born to a working-class family in Arkansas, Jewell has been singing for his supper since the age of 21, from Texas to Tennessee.
In 1992, Soul Asylum released Grave Dancers Union, a record that would come to transform them from underground college rockers to international superstars. The first two singles off the album, “Somebody To Shove” and “Black Gold,” both came in at high positions at the Modern Rock and Album Rock charts, but it was the album’s third track that led them to their major breakthrough. “Runaway Train” peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, raised album sales to double-platinum level and won Soul Asylum the Grammy Award for “Best Rock Song” in 1994.
