Dave Matthews Band fans in Connecticut expecting a tour stop in the Nutmeg State on its annual summer tour may be disappointed this year. The band announced its spring and summer tour dates on Tuesday with Connecticut noticeably absent from the itinerary. 

The band was a staple at Hartford’s Xfinity Theatre — playing almost yearly since 1995 and seldomly skipping the state on its annual summer jaunts. Last year, the band skipped Hartford, but played Mohegan Sun Arena in the fall. 

Neither Xfinity Theatre nor Dave Matthews Band responded to requests for comment. 

Those looking to catch the band nearby on its upcoming tour can travel to New York for its shows in Bethel (May 24), Syracuse (May 27) or Saratoga Springs (July 18-19). Dave Matthews Band will also be performing shows in New Jersey and New Hampshire as well as headlining the Boston Calling music festival, which is held at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Cambridge, Mass., on Memorial Day weekend. 

Matthews and his group were recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of its 2024 class alongside Ozzy Osbourne, A Tribe Called Quest, Cher, Peter Frampton, Foreigner, Kool & The Gang and Mary J. Blige. Last fall, the band headlined the Soulshine benefit concert at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, which raised $4.5 million for those impacted by hurricanes Helene and Milton, according to a news release from Shore Fire Media. Connecticut’s Goose, Trey Anastasio from Phish, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and the Warren Haynes Band were among the other performers at the benefit concert.

Pre-sale tickets for Matthews’ summer tour dates, outside of Boston Calling and other festivals the band is performing at, are available to request through the DMB Warehouse Fan Association. Tickets will go on…

On January 29, it was announced that Indiana Fever icon Caitlin Clark would not be participating in a three-point shooting competition during the NBA All-Star Weekend, which takes place from February 14-16.

It was reported that Clark’s reasoning for this is that she’d prefer to make her three-point shooting competition debut during the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, which is taking place at the Fever’s home court in Indianapolis.

Clark has received much positive feedback from many within the media (including Stephen A. Smith) for this decision to prioritize her own league over the NBA.

And ESPN analyst Chiney Ogwumike offered her own praise during a January 30 episode of First Take.

“A lot of people say that Caitlin Clark moves the needle. That is wrong. She is the needle,” Ogwumike said, per an X post from First Take.

“She dictates. We all know what she has done on the floor. It’s history, right? But off the floor, my goodness. She and the Indiana Fever accounted for 45% of all the broadcast value of the WNBA last season. She accounted also for helping drive the numbers of merchandising up.

“Most importantly, I think people look at this and think she said no. That’s not the case,” Ogwumike added of Clark’s decision. “She said she wants her first competition to be in Indy, at WNBA All-Star, which to me is huge. People don’t see the numbers below, the economic impact… So I understand her point of view. She wants to probably let other athletes shine… There are previous winners that should probably get an opportunity to compete.

“So I think Caitlin, she moves because she knows people follow her no matter where she goes, and she’s very strategic about dictating where her value is,” she concluded.

BKFC Mohegan Sun is two days away. A week ago Saturday, it was BKFC KnuckleMania V taking center stage in primetime on DAZN. A total of 17,762 spectators walked through the doors of Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center to see the action.

Official figures from the card indicate that the 17,762 people who paid to see the show made for a new promotional record for a live audience. This week, David Feldman and his staff stay in the East Coast for a trek to Uncasville, CT and Mohegan Sun Arena for BKFC Mohegan Sun as the promotion’s 2025 schedule continues.

Live coverage of Saturday’s event begins with the countdown show at 5 pm ET/ 2 pm PT on the official BKFC YouTube channel before moving onto the two-fight undercard at 6 pm ET/ 3 pm PT on DAZN and YouTube. The main card caps the evening at 7 pm ET/ 4 pm PT.  If there are no 11th-hour postponements between now and Saturday night, the final version of BKFC Mohegan Sun will feature an 11-fight bare-knuckle boxing card.

TAHLEQUAH, OK – Cherokee Nation and the U.S. Department of the Interior have partnered to utilize film and media to help preserve and advance Native languages. The largest tribal nation in the U.S. is dedicating resources and its industry-leading technology to help federal entities pursue a National Plan on Native Language Revitalization.

Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. recently signed a memorandum of understanding establishing a formal partnership between the tribe, Cherokee Film and several federal entities, including the Interior Department, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the National Fund for Excellence in American Indian Education. The Interior Department intends for the 10-year plan to expand immersion language projects, boost community efforts and develop support networks.

“The Cherokee Nation and its people recognize the importance of preserving and celebrating our heritage and the significant need to do so by creating new generations of Cherokee speakers who can perpetuate and teach others our beautiful language,” said Chief Hoskin. “It is with that understanding that we have invested historic sums while tasking our tribal departments and businesses to pursue an unparalleled approach to tackling the monumental task of keeping the Cherokee language alive. I am proud that through those investments, such as our film studios, we can also now be a resource for tribes around the country to capture and share their language, culture, experiences, aspirations and much more.”

Throughout the next decade, Cherokee Film will provide the NFEAIE (National Fund for Excellence in American Indian Education) with expert consultation and insights while leveraging Cherokee Nation’s experience, infrastructure and networks to assist fellow tribes in dubbing TV and film programming in Native languages. Cherokee Nation will also empower other tribes to pursue language revitalization initiatives through the use of…

Indiana Fever icon Caitlin Clark celebrated her 23rd birthday on January 22.

While Clark has already produced a legendary career with countless accolades, perhaps the most fascinating part of her story is that she seemingly still has room to improve.

Clark is best known for her three-point shooting ability. But considering that the 34.4% three-point percentage she shot during her rookie season with the Fever is beneath her 37.7% mark from college, the assumption is that she’ll shoot much better from range this year after having a full offseason and fresh legs under her.

And seems off to a good start in that regard, as she celebrated her birthday on Wednesday by draining a whopping 50 of 54 shots from three-point range, as per the Indiana Fever’s X post.

Caitlin Clark shot 50-for-54 from three on her birthday.

Clark has been compared to Golden State Warriors legend Steph Curry numerous times; largely due to their elite shooting. And this video brought Curry to mind for multiple reasons.

One is that he drained over 100 consecutive three-pointers during a practice in 2023, which went viral on social media. Clark’s insane accuracy on Wednesday was akin to that extraordinary display.

5+ minutes without a miss.

The other reason Clark’s video brought Curry to mind is that they’re rumored to be competing against each other in a three-point shooting contest during NBA All-Star weekend, along with Sabrina Ionescu and Klay Thompson.

Therefore, some fans are seeing this as Clark’s way of showing Curry that she’s already on her game.

“yeah she’s winning that NBA All Star 3pt contest, sry Steph,”…
