RED ROCKER GETS
A LIL’ BIT COUNTRY WITH KENNY CHESNEY

A Hungry Hagar
The “I Can’t Drive 55” moptop, Sammy Hagar, will join contemporary country mega-star Kenny Chesney for his late spring/early summer “Poets & Pirates” tour. Nashville’s answer to Jimmy Buffet will also be joined by Keith Urban, Brooks & Dunn, Leann Rimes, Big & Rich and others on various dates.

“I haven’t had the opportunity to play in front of stadium crowds — like I will be on this tour — since my days of headlining the Texas Jams and playing with Van Halen the last time we toured as a group,” says Hagar. “Live sold-out stadium shows like this is what I built my career on and I am looking at this as a challenging opportunity to rock them just like I used to. With millions of potential new young fans, I couldn’t be more excited to bring my show to town!”
