Rock Super-Group "Chickenfoot" To Perform at Mohegan Sun Arena 8/20/2009 August 20, 2009

- Chickenfoot, the highly-anticipated new Rock group, comprised of guitar hero Joe Satriani, Red Hot Chili Peppers' drummer Chad Smith, former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and frontman Sammy Hagar, will take the stage at Mohegan Sun on Thursday, August 20th at 7:30pm with special guests Davy Knowles & Back Door Slam.

Tickets are $35.00 and go on sale Saturday, June 13th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com, call Ticketmaster's national toll free Charge by Phone number 1.800.745.3000; or visit any Ticketmaster outlet. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office on Sunday, June 14th, subject to availability.

Long before these four Rock icons came together to form Chickenfoot, they already had filled the pages of Rock history with enough individual mind-blowing chapters to boggle the mind of any fan or musician alike. Satriani had his own blazing solo career as a much-respected guitar virtuoso; Chad Smith is the drummer of world-renowned Rock band The Red Hot Chili Peppers; and Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar have been working together since their days as bassist and lead singer, respectively, in Van Halen. These talented individuals were aching to work together in a band that produced Rock like they never have before.

Davy Knowles and Back Door Slam are back with a new album produced by Peter Frampton. Coming Up For Air, a smorgasbord of rockers and acoustic ballads, includes Davy and Peter dueling guitar solos on George Harrison s anthem, "Hear Me Lord," and an extraordinary bonus track duet with Jonatha Brooke.
