Key West announces Sammy Hagar & The Circle, one of rock music’s
most dynamic super groups, will perform at Coffee Butler Amphitheater this spring. Tickets for
the May 23 concert are on sale at www.thekeywestamp.com as
well as The Box Office located at 512 Eaton St. in Key West.
For almost forty years, Sammy Hagar has been one of rock music’s most dynamic and prolific
artists. From breaking into the industry with the seminal hard rock band Montrose to his
multiplatinum solo career to his ride as the front man of Van Halen, the “Red Rocker” has set the
tone for some of the greatest rock anthems ever written with songs like “I Can’t Drive 55,”
“Right Now,” and “Why Can’t This Be Love.” He’s earned the highest respect of the music
industry with a Grammy Award and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside
Van Halen and is currently on his fourth platinum run with the supergroup Chickenfoot. Along
his journey, Hagar has also become a dedicated philanthropist, a New York Times best-selling
author and auspicious entrepreneur.
Never one to hit the brakes, Sammy has expanded his successes into publishing, TV, radio and
beyond. Fans have watched him on season eleven of The Voice, where he was a mentor for Team
Adam and during five seasons of his hit TV series Rock & Roll Road Trip with Sammy Hagar. In
2015, he scored his second New York Times best-selling book, Are We Having Any Fun Yet?
(Harper Collins), the highly anticipated follow up to Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock, his #1
New York Times best-selling memoir. He’s also the host of Sammy Hagar’s Top Rock
Countdown, a weekly syndicated radio show broadcast to 90+ US stations. His debut album with
The Circle, Space Between, entered the U.S. Billboard 200 chart at #4 on May 10, 2019, and
debuted at #1 on four Billboard charts including: #1-Top Album Sales, #1-Top Rock Albums, #1-Hard Rock Albums and #1-Independent Albums. The band toured throughout 2019 in support of the album, earning universal praise from fans and critics alike. The Circle kicked off 2021
with the release of “Lockdown 2020,” an album collection of their massively popular Lockdown
Sessions featuring raw and raucous compact covers of classic hits that they had jammed to
backstage, but never planned to record. Recorded remotely by each band member during the
Covid-19 stay-at-homes, the digital music videos which include hits like The Who’s “Won‘t Get
Fooled Again,” Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds,” AC/DC “Whole Lotta Rosie” and David
Bowie’s “Heroes” had already reached an online audience of more than 30 million before the
album’s release.
After being shut down for a year due to COVID-19, Rams Head is thrilled to welcome Sammy
Hagar & The Circle to the stunning Coffee Butler Amphitheater this spring for what is sure to be
an epic night of live music. With plenty of food vendors, bars, take home items from local
artisans and a one in a million view of the Gulf of Mexico – Coffee Butler Amphitheater is more
than ready to welcome music lovers back through their gates!
