June 17th, 2026 my brother and I saw Sammy Hagar in concert at the Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt Pleasant, Michigan. I won 2 tickets and 2 meet&greet tickets from my local radio station, WHEELZ 104.5! I painted a portrait of Sammy with his friend Bob Weir, one of the founding members of the Grateful Dead, who passed away a few months ago. I also drew Popeye dressed as Sammy 😁. The meet and greet was very quick, where fans stood with Sammy for a photo and moved on out the tent. I, on the other hand, pressed my luck and tried striking up a conversation about the artwork I made for him. His wife walked up and pointed out to Sammy how good the painting was 😊.
I stepped to the side and she and I spoke for a few minutes, bless her! She's so sweet and kind!
The concert was amazing, as always! Joe Satriani is touring with Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, with Kenny Aranoff on drums.
My brother got us tickets months ago to Sammy's show this Friday at Pine Knob! It's going to be great again! Sammy Hagar never disappoints, and I should know: I've seen him for every tour through Michigan since 1993 (my 1st Van Halen concert!)!
