    Bryan Adams headlines the Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday

    I'm pretty sure Bryan Adams has sold more albums than any other Canadian rock artist with the possible exception of Rush, Heart, or Neil Young — and certainly more than Aldo Nova and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

    What? Oh, yeah, I forgot Nickelback. Those guys have sold a lot!

    Well, however platinum he is, Adams has churned out a career's worth of catchy, poppy rock.

    You probably know all that. After all, you'll be at the Mohegan Sun Arena Saturday when Bri comes through on his "Restless — 30th Anniversary" tour. He'll saturate you with hits including "Cuts Like a Knife," "Summer of '69," "Run to You," "Heaven," "(Everything I Do) I Do For You," and hopefully his wonderful 2014 take on "God Only Knows." Oh, and Adams is rumored to have finished a new album, so maybe you'll hear some teasers.

    Afterwards, while you're feeling all Canada-y, go home and explore the following north-of-the-border acts you've possibly not heard but might well enjoy: FM. Mystery. Greylevel. Mahagony Rush. The Grapes of Wrath. Sum 41. Frozen Ghost.
