Sammy Hagar

He’s been standing on top of the rock for nearly five decades, but there is so much more to Sammy Hagar’s success story than Montrose, a star-making solo career and the mega-stardom (and bitter contention) of Van Halen. As a once aspiring boxer, a tirelessly driven entrepreneur and all-around, high-energy personality, Hagar’s career could have taken many paths. Join us as we discuss the many fascinating layers of the Red Rocker.
