Maroon 5’s ‘Hands All Over’ Tour Stops At Mohegan Sun

May 10, 2010 | Entertainment

Highly-anticipated third album produced by studio legend Robert John “Mutt” Lange set for release on September 21st
Grammy-winning recording artist Maroon 5 is back with their highly-anticipated third studio album, Hands All OverPress Release Photo low res (A&M/Octone), set for release on September 21st. Produced by Rock studio legend Robert John “Mutt” Lange (AC/DC, Def Leppard, The Cars), Hands All Over is a killer hybrid of Rock, Pop, Funk and R&B. In addition, the album’s first single will impact radio on June 28th. Following the release of the single, Maroon 5 has announced plans for a summer concert tour that will rock Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday, August 1st at 7:00pm with special guests Guster and Ry Cuming.
Tickets are $65.00 and $45.00 and go on sale Friday, May 14th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster.  Ticketmaster customers may log onto 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, May 15th, subject to availability.
Maroon 5 began writing the songs that appear on Hands All Over after winding down from a world tour in support of their 2007 studio release It Won’t Be Soon Before Long. Several months later, the band received a phone call from Lange, who heard that the band was beginning to write a new album, and expressed an interest in producing it.
“We didn’t even talk to anyone else,” Adam Levine, Maroon 5’s frontman says. “Mutt is undeniably one of the most successful producers who’s ever lived.”
Jesse Carmichael, the band’s keyboardist, added, “Mutt really helped us play to the best of our ability. And it drove us to be bigger and better than ever.”
The result is Hands All Over, a monumental record chock full of buoyant, unforgettable melodies.  Recorded at Lange’s Switzerland studio, the members of Maroon 5 locked themselves in the mountains to patiently craft their latest effort. Starting with the hard-rocking title track, the album’s fifteen tracks take several intoxicating twists and turns including such compositions as “Out of Goodbyes,” a stunning Country ballad infused with musical and vocal contributions from Nashville chart-toppers Lady Antebellum. Long-time fans will get a thrill out of “Misery,” with its funky guitars and high-stepping melody, as well as the propulsive “Stutter,” melody rich “Give A Little More” and “Don’t Know Much About That,” which professes a classic soulful vibe.
Guster continues to back 2006’s Ganging Up on the Sun, along with an eight-song EP from 2007, Satellite, which comprises live cuts and new recordings.  The group, which has been in the studio working on a still-untitled new album, will release its next studio set on Aware/Columbia after recording its last two albums for the Reprise label. According to a recent Billboard article, the band has purchased carbon credits to offset the environmental impact of recording and distributing the forthcoming album.
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.  For information on this week’s schedule, call the Entertainment and Special Events hotline at 1.888.226.7711, ext. 27163.
