Sammy Hagar shared a video of a jam of the song “Santa’s Going South For Christmas” with Bob Weir and Mickey Hart, recorded for a benefit for his hometown organizations.
The song “Santa’s Going South” was originally written in 2010 and debuted at a holiday fundraiser benefiting Homeward Bound, The Ritter Center, and 17 Throckmorton.
Sammy Hagar collaborated with Toby Keith for a duet version of the song in 2011, and has performed it live with various artists over the years, including Nancy Wilson and Willie K.
In 2019, the song was released as a special picture disc for Record Store Day, and in 2021, Sammy & The Circle recorded a version as part of the Lockdown Sessions.
