SAMMY HAGAR - Go There Once, Be There Twice To Screen In Toronto
February 10, 2011, 13 years ago
On Friday, March 11th, SAMMY HAGAR's new film, Go There Once, Be There Twice, will screen in Toronto, ON at The TIFF Bell Lightbox as part of Canadian Music Week's Film Festival. Tickets are $10 and will be available through the TIFF Bell Lightbox box office as of February 25th. Canadian Music Fest wristband holders gain access to the film for free, subject to capacity. Sammy Hagar will be present to introduce the screening; a synopsis of which follows:
It’s not just any club that has a movie made about it for its 20th birthday. That honour belongs to the Cabo Wabo, the brainchild of former VAN HALEN frontman Sammy Hagar. Built when Cabo San Lucas was just a town of 6,000 people, the Cabo Wabo has become an anchor of the now-thriving resort town in no small part due to Hagar’s hard work and his annual birthday bash hosted at the Cabo Wabo every year.
It’s impossible to talk about the club without talking about its creator, really, and Go There Once, Be There Twice is as much Hagar’s story as the club’s, the film walking through the rocker’s life and career with an impressive collection of live performances by and tributes from the scores of famous friends Hagar has hosted in his club’s walls. And when all is said and done perhaps it’s the iconic NEIL YOUNG who sums the whole endeavour up best, pointing out that “He’s got his own club in Mexico, you know. This guy likes to have a good time.” Indeed.
Furthermore, Hagar will be the subject of an exclusive interview at Canadian Music Week - taking place on Saturday, March 12th at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto - sharing the stories of his formidable rise through rock music and private enterprise.
And Hagar's autobiography RED: My Uncensored Life In Rock is set for release that same day - Saturday, March 12th - through HarperCollins.
