Following the festivities, Hagar and his band the Wabos, composed of Victor Johnson (guitar), Mona (bass), David Lauser (drums) and Gibby Ross (percussion), will hit the pavilion stage and rock! To cap off the night, encores and beyond will be performed by Montrose, with Sammy on vocals!

Following a brief boxing career, Hagar found his niche in the Southern California rock scene with the group Montrose in 1973. After recording two albums with the band, Hagar went on to solo success, releasing a string of five platinum albums such as 1982’s Three Lock Box and 1984’s VOA, containing the smash single “I Can’t Drive 55.”

In 1985, Hagar joined legendary rock band Van Halen on vocals. His career with the band yielded five multi-platinum albums - OU182 (1988), Grammy Award-winning For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (1991), LIVE: Right Here, Right Now (1993) and Balance (1995) - and 10 number-one singles including “Right Now,” “Why Can’t This Be Love” and “Top of the World.”

Hagar released Marching to Mars, his first solo album in more than a decade, in 1997. The album reached Billboard’s 20 Top-Selling Rock Albums, re-establishing his reputation as a solo artist. He followed up with Red Voodoo two years later and its #1 rock single “Mas Tequila.”

His most recent single “Let Me Take You There” topped Mediabase’s National Classic Rock charts at number one just two weeks after its release. The single is available for download, with a link on Hagar’s web site: redrocker.com.

Montrose was formed by Ronnie Montrose in the early 1970s and is known for such hits as “Rock Candy,” “Space Station No. 5” and “Bad Motor Scooter.” Rounding out the Detroit Montrose line-up with Sammy and Ronnie are original members Bill Church (bass) and Denny Carmassi (drums).

Sammy Hagar and the Wabos “The Tequila Made Me Do It?” with special guest Montrose is part of the Miller Genuine Draft Concert Series at DTE Energy Music Theatre.
