Staind dove into bleaker recesses than ever before and surfaced with their heaviest and most hypnotic album to date, Staind, their self-titled, seventh studio album. The multi-platinum Massachusetts Hard Rock outfit—Aaron Lewis, Mike Mushok and Johnny “Old School” April—pushed itself to the very brink. There was struggle and strife, but, as a result, Staind constructed a collection of chaotically melodic songs that hearken back to their 1999 major label debut, Dysfunction, while wielding an instrumental and lyrical prowess that could only be cultivated by 16 years of writing, recording and touring together.
Along the way, the band forged a melodic musical maelstrom that served as solace for fans of all ages. They sold 15 million albums worldwide, had eight top ten singles across multiple formats with three songs hitting number one and wrote the most-played Rock song of the past decade, “It’s Been Awhile.”
Mohegan Sun Arena is ranked the 4th best venue by Billboard Magazine and was the 2008 and 2010 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.

Staind frontman will perform live at Mohegan Sun on January 15th
Aaron Lewis, lead singer of the multi-platinum selling band Staind, is returning to Mohegan Sun for a solo acoustic performance in the Arena. The performance is scheduled for Saturday, January 15th at 8:00pm.
Tickets are $35.00 and go on sale Friday, December 3rd 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 beginning on Saturday, December 4th, subject to availability.
Best known as the lead singer of the multi-platinum selling Rock band Staind, Aaron Lewis is gearing up to release a solo effort made up of five Country tunes. The album, Town Line, is set to be released in February, with its first single “Country Boy” hitting airwaves on Tuesday, December 7th.
Country music comes naturally for Aaron Lewis. It’s something the Staind frontman grew up with. It’s something that he comes back to. It’s something that inspires him. It’s something that’s in his blood. Hints of that are present in the stripped honesty and acoustic melodies of Staind hits such as “Outside,” “It’s Been Awhile” and “So Far Away.”
Lewis fully shows that spirit on his forthcoming five-song CD Town Line–marking his debut solo release for Nashville-based Stroudavarious Records– and, most prevalently, on its first single and video, “Country Boy.” With a little help on both the single and video from legends George Jones and Charlie Daniels as well as critically-acclaimed new traditionalist Chris Young, Lewis tells his story like never before on the song. The video is set to premiere Wednesday, December 1st at CMT.com and then will have its on-air premiere on CMT Monday, December 6th. The “Country Boy” single will be available Tuesday, December 7th at iTunes and all other digital retailers.
“Country Boy” serves as a fitting introduction to Town Line, which hits shelves in February. Lewis’ voice carries a catchy chorus over a slide guitar, and he opens up in this personal manifesto about his past, present, and future. Featuring a fiery fiddle lead from Daniels, a booming verse from Jones and Young’s lilting harmonies, “Country Boy” strikes a balance between classic and modern country.
Mohegan Sun Arena was ranked the 4th busiest venue in 2009 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.
