Sammy Hagar and his CIRCLE bandmates Michael Anthony , Jason Bonham and Vic Johnson have once teamed up via the Internet to record music.
After previously connecting via their smartphones from four separate locations to lay down a brand new song titled "Funky Feng Shui" , as well as covers of THE WHO 's iconic track "Won't Get Fooled Again" , VAN HALEN 's "Good Enough" , BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS ' "Three Little Birds" and AC/DC 's "Whole Lotta Rosie" , among others, they have now regrouped — in a virtual sense — to cover Little Richard 's 1957 classic "Keep A-Knockin'" . Check out video of the performance below.
Hagar said: "I had the hardest time with this one because every time I came in singing, I started singing LED ZEPPELIN 's 'Rock 'n' Roll' ! It took me three damn takes. My favorite drummer and my favorite singer of all time — love this one hope you do too. Long live the music of John Bonham and Little Richard !"
Last week, SAMMY HAGAR & THE CIRCLE 's previously announced U.S. tour with NIGHT RANGER has been officially canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic which is sweeping the globe.
Produced by Live Nation , the outing was scheduled to kick off July 9 in West Palm Beach, Florida at iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre and make stops in Tampa, Cincinnati, Dallas, Phoenix and more, before wrapping September 20 in Chula Vista, California at North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre.
Joining Hagar in THE CIRCLE are bassist Michael Anthony ( VAN HALEN , CHICKENFOOT ), drummer Jason Bonham ( BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION , JASON BONHAM'S LED ZEPPELIN EVENING ) and guitarist Vic Johnson ( THE WABORITAS ).
THE CIRCLE 's first album of all-original material, "Space Between" , was released in May 2019 via BMG .
