Rick Springfield at Mohegan Sun Arena

Rick Springfield is a rocker with a knack for hardened pop hook. He became an overnight sensation with the 1981 smash hit "Jessie's Girl" and continues to impress audiences today. "Jessie's Girl" wasn't the star’s first hit in the States or his native Australia. It was actually the bright and bouncy piece of AM candy "Speak to the Sky" that put him on the map in 1972, topping the charts in both countries.

At the start of the eighties, Rick Springfield created his own brand of rock and radio-ready pop, which was constantly blasted on the airwaves and MTV. During this period of his career, he racked up a number of huge hits, such as "I've Done Everything for You,' "Don't Talk to Strangers," "Affair of the Heart," and "Love Somebody." Imagine singing and dancing along to these timeless classics at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Amazing.

To this day, Rick Springfield has continued to deliver thoughtful, power rock records. While his new tunes have a contemporary edge, they still draw from the same muscular melodic source that powered his earlier smash hits. Last year, the icon dropped 'Automatic,' via Songvest Records. The 20 track album is described by Rick Springfield as a mixtape that stylistically lies somewhere between his legendary earlier albums ‘Working Class Dog’ and ‘Tao.’ How awesome is that?! Returning to his roots of guitar-based brawny pop and keyboards, the megastar weaves his trademark themes of love, sex, and death into the LP’s lyrics. And now he’s bringing his tracks and heart to Connecticut.

Springfield isn’t only an icon in the music scene, he’s also dipped his toes into the silver screen. The rocker starred as Dr. Noah Drake in ‘General Hospital’ and worked with Meryl Streep in ‘Ricki and the Flash.’ He even played Dr. Irving Pitlor in HBO’s huge series ‘True Detective,’ Lucifer in the CW’s ‘Supernatura,’ as well as Pastor Charles on FX’s ‘American Horror Story.’
