In a tantalising prospect, drummer Gregg Bissonette and keyboard player Brett Tuggle are also set to appear, meaning that 4/5 of the original David Lee Roth band will be in the house, with only the band leader and Van Halen singer himself missing.
The original David Lee Roth band were set to reunite in 2015, only for the impromptu show to be shut down at the last minute due to concerns over safety. Speaking to eonmusic in 2017, Sheehan enthused about the groups intentions to play together once more, telling us; "It’s up to Dave, [but] I’m ready, Steve’s ready, Gregg’s ready - we’re all ready. So if Dave decides to do it, we’re ready to go”.
Ultimate NAMM Night is sponsored by DW drums, Ampeg, Mezzabara, Morley, Axis, Wedgie, Gear Secure, Coffin Case, CAD, Rock N Roll Industries, Al Bane for Leather, D’Addario, Fender, and Royal Entertainment. The show will feature performances by an All-Star artist list. Also included in will be full band performances by Flotsam & Jetsam, Sweet, and Marco Mendoza’s El Trio. Additional performers will be added right up until showtime.
Over 80 performers will present a show that is dedicated to portraying the power of music and its diverse reach. The event will showcase many different genres of music including Latin, Funk, Rock, and Metal and portray the mission of Ultimate Jam Night – bringing people together through the power of music.
As is its custom the show is offered free-of-charge with tickets available at select times during
