Updated 9:06 AM;
Western Massachusetts’ multi-platinum-selling rock band Staind returns with their first album in almost a decade: “Live: It’s Been Awhile.”
Recorded in 2019 at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, the 14 songs were recorded during a group of shows when the band was preparing for a 2020 tour that was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is the rock band’s first album since 2012′s “Live from Mohegan Sun,” which was released a year after their last studio album, “Staind.”
To celebrate the release of the live album, Staind announced that fans will be able to view “The Return Of Staind: A Two Part Global Streaming Series” The first part of the event will feature “Live: It’s Been Awhile from Foxwoods” on May 1, followed by a performance of the band’s “Break The Cycle” album at Mill 1 in Open Square in Holyoke on May 8.
Foxwoods Resort Casino currently has about half of the employees it did a year ago.
The significant drop in workers to about 2,400 active employees reflects the deep toll the pandemic has had on one of the world’s largest casinos, which happens to be based in Connecticut.
But instead of dwelling on the downturn as well as the significant decline in revenues over the past year Foxwoods’ recently named CEO Jason Guyot said he sees opportunities for expansion ahead, particularly as the vaccine roll out continues.
In fact, over the next four to six months Foxwoods will unveil several new amenities he said will attract more people to his Ledyard-based casino.
