Red Rocker returns to Tahoe

For Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is a time to commemorate the victory over France in 1862’s Battle of Puebla.

For Tahoe, the weekend closest to Cinco de Mayo means Sammy Hagar is coming to town.

Every year at this time the Red Rocker makes the drive from his Marin County home to Tahoe (which for him probably only takes an hour or so) to perform some shows at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe. He also checks on his restaurant, the Cabo Wabo Cantina, where he sometimes gets onstage for an impromptu performance. Plus, he gets to see his son, Aaron, who lives at South Shore — the 2007 Angora fire missed his house by only a few yards. read more
