AMBROSIA Mohegan Sun Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut August 29, 2019 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc Some call it Yacht Rock. Others might call it the music that bridged two decades in popular music. In the 21st century, it is referred to as Yacht Rock.

KIX Mohegan Sun – Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut April 5, 2019 Photos & Review by Frank Piercy Spending an evening at a casino on (or pretty damn close to) my birthday has become somewhat of a tradition for my wife and me.

What a birthday celebration it was, not only were weRead More →

WARRANT Mohegan Sun – Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut October 18, 2018 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc One of the great things about the Mohegan Sun Wolf Den is not only that the shows are free, but the fact that Mohegan Sun is always booking such great bands, especially for fans of 80’s rock.
