: Thanks to a 2024 court decision that let Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman reclaim their band name, the duo has been touring together as The Guess Who for the first time in decades, and that included a stop at the Mohegan Sun Arena on Thursday evening [7/19/2026]. In addition to the band's biggest hits, room was also made for a solo tune from Burton and the three most popular singles from Randy's other top project, Bachman-Turner Overdrive. (Burton even said that this won't be their last visit to the state, so maybe we ain't seen nothin' yet!) Opening the show was guitarist Don Felder, who performed a mix of Eagles classics and solo material like 1981's "Heavy Metal".

/ : The latest installment of the ChirpCT concert series featured acoustic quartet Mr Sun at Ridgefield's East Ridge Middle School, on Tuesday night [7/7/2026], moved indoors due to the threat of rain (and yes, we noticed the humor in this, given the band's name!). The group, led by fiddler darol Anger, combined elements of bluegrass, jazz, and other styles to their two sets, mixing together originals with such classics as the Beatles' "Blackbird" - and threw in some good-natured jokes between selections, too.
