SAMMY HAGAR: 'Go There Once, Be There Twice' Documentary World Premiere Announced

A documentary covering the history of Sammy Hagar's (CHICKENFOOT, VAN HALEN) "Birthday Bash" and Cabo Wabo Cantina, "Go There Once, Be There Twice", will be screened on December 11 at the Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley, California. Hagar says, "As usual, it's going to be a party, complete with margaritas, tacos, THE WABOS and a few of my friends will there to celebrate, too. We will have t-shirts, posters and a toy drive Guitar Picks For Presents, so bring a toy and get a pick! All proceeds go to our friends at Homeward Bound, Ritter Center and 142 Throckmorton Theatre Scholarship fund. Let's keep the party going...see you there."

A preview clip of "Go There Once, Be There Twice", featuring a live version of "Red" with video footage covering four decades of Hagar's career (produced and edited by Paul Ware),can be viewed below.

It Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, recently announced a deal to publish Sammy Hagar's autobiography, tentatively titled "Sammy Hagar Red", in 2011. Hagar, the multi-platinum Red Rocker, is best known as the bombastic frontman of VAN HALEN, one of the biggest-selling rock groups in history, and the lead singer of the hard rock group CHICKENFOOT.

The book was acquired by Lisa Sharkey, Senior Vice President and Director of Creative Development for HarperCollins from Frank Weimann, President of The Literary Group International. Senior Editor Matt Harper will edit the book.

Hagar will provide readers with incredible behind-the-scenes stories from his multi-platinum career, including his rise as a solo artist and his eleven years with VAN HALEN, after the controversial departure of original lead vocalist David Lee Roth. During Hagar's time with VAN HALEN, the band released four consecutive No. 1 albums. From worldwide stadium concerts tours to private jets, Hagar enjoyed the trappings of fame and success with VAN HALEN until he was, as he puts it, "unceremoniously fired." Hagar later thrived as a solo act, leading his band, the CABO WABOS, before returning triumphantly to VAN HALEN for an historic reunion tour after which he set off on his own once again.

Honest and compelling, Hagar's account spares no one, least of all himself. Hagar's autobiography reveals the inside story of one of rock music's most recognizable voices, from his humble beginnings in the town of Fontana, California, to his incredible business success with Cabo Wabo Tequila and the Cabo Wabo Cantinas. The book will be co-authored by Joel Selvin, longtime pop music writer for the San Francisco Chronicle.
