Vocalist SAMMY HAGAR (CHICKENFOOT, ex-VAN HALEN) checks in with this update:

"Here's my first batch of Sammy's Sea Salt from the beach in front of my house in Cabo! I'm making this exclusively for the margaritas at the Cabo Wabo down here! Damn it's some salty salt - a little goes a long way but it's flaky enough to disappear on the tongue. Unfortunately there ain't enough to go around, but it's fun to make - just using a cookie sheet and 1/2" of sea water at a time!"

There's only a few weeks remaining until Chickenfoot embark on the Different Devil Tour. But that downtime gives Hagar an opportunity to throw another party! If you're in the Bay Area, you won't want to miss this bash he is throwing (and tending bar at) for his Sammy's Beach Bar Rum.

Tickets for Sammy's Beach Bar Rum Bash on April 24th are on sale now. The Red Rocker is taking the party to the beach - a la Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello on steroids. Beach dress code will be strictly enforced and Hagar himself will be serving cocktails behind the bar and twisting & shouting with the folks. The amazing psychedelic surf band APE will be performing and scupting a live Tiki carving which will be raffled off, as well as other door prizes, and of course plenty of Beach Bar Rum will be present! Tickets are LIMITED quantity and will go quickly!

Tickets are onsale via RedRocker.com. Due to the limited space a strict two-ticket limit will be enforced. There were 150 tickets available through Red Rocker and 100 through the venue. Tickets are $22 plus service fees (RedRocker.com service fee will be $1, for a total of $23/ticket).

Ticketing for this event will be done differently than in the past. Please email your ticket request to sales@redrocker.com. Orders will be filled first come, first served until sold out. You will be notified with a reply email confirming your request with further instructions on completing your ticket order. All ticket sales will be through Pay Pal.

You will need to print out and bring your confirmation email as well as ID that matches the name on the account. Your name will be on a will call list at the venue on the night of the show.
