Red Hot Chili Peppers Drummer Chad Smith Takes Us Through His Side Projects in Exclusive Special

With the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chad Smith has played drums on some of the most memorable rock tracks of the last several decades. But the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member has also worked on numerous side projects over the years, teaming up with music superstars not in RHCP.

During the exclusive special Chad Smith’s Side Projects on SiriusXM’s Whole Lotta Red Hot (Ch. 315), Smith takes us on his musical journey outside of his work with RHCP. Listen as the GRAMMY-winning drummer spins and shares stories about his tracks with Ozzy Osbourne, The Chicks, Tom Morello, Post Malone, Johnny Cash, The Avett Brothers, John Fogerty and more.

Check out Chad Smith’s Side Projects on the SXM App now, or listen to it on Whole Lotta Red Hot on July 26 at 8pm, July 27 at 4pm, and July 28 at 9am (all times ET).
