SUMMARY:BoDeans 40th Anniversary Tour
DESCRIPTION:2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the BoDeans critically acclaimed debut album\, Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams. In honor of the 40th anniversary\, BoDeans will perform two-and-a-half-hour shows featuring a video retrospective that will include songs from their 14 studio records covering five decades of music – the 1980s\, 1990s\, 2000s\, 2010s\, and the 2020s. \nFounded and led by original frontman\, songwriter\, multi-instrumentalist\, and producer Kurt Neumann\, the band’s catalog consists of generational anthems such as “Good Things\,” “You Don’t Get Much\,” “Idaho\,” and “Closer to Free\,” to name a few. BoDeans emerged out of Waukesha\, WI\, in 1986 with the seminal debut\, Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams\, produced by T Bone Burnett. Followed by Outside Looking In [1987]\, Home [1989]\, and Black and White [1991]\, Go Slow Down [1993] yielded “Closer to Free\,” which famously served as the theme song for the smash-hit television series\, Party of Five. Meanwhile\, they transformed into a proven live phenomenon by supporting the likes of U2\, Bob Dylan\, Paul Simon\, Tom Petty\, The Pretenders\, and David Bowie\, in addition to gracing the bills of Farm Aid\, Summerfest\, and ACL.

SUMMARY:Teddy Swims with special guest Marc Scibilia
DESCRIPTION:at Mohegan Sun Arena \nIf you’ve heard Teddy Swims once\, you won’t forget it. Teddy Swims has built his rise on something rare right now… raw\, powerful vocals that cut through everything else. Blending soul\, R&B\, pop\, and a little grit\, he went from posting covers online to topping charts with “Lose Control\,” a breakout hit that climbed all the way to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Now he brings that momentum to Mohegan Sun Arena on June 4 at 8 PM\, backed by a full band and a catalog that’s built for a live room. \nWhat makes a Teddy Swims show land is the contrast. One minute it’s stripped down and emotional… the next it opens up into something bigger\, louder\, and fully alive. Songs from I’ve Tried Everything but Therapy carry that weight\, mixing heartbreak\, swagger\, and just enough unpredictability to keep things from ever feeling flat. It’s not just a performance… it’s a release\, and the crowd usually meets him right there. \nOpening the night is Marc Scibilia\, whose sound leans into a blend of folk\, soul\, and anthemic pop. He’s not just an opener either… he’s worked behind the scenes writing and producing for major artists (including Swims himself)\, and his own songs have racked up millions of streams and placements across film and TV. It sets up the night perfectly: one artist building the mood\, the other blowing it wide open. If you’re looking for a show that actually feels something instead of just playing through a setlist\, this one hits.
