New York, NY (Top40 Charts / LocoDistro) Timed to coincide with Myrtle Beach Bike Week from May 8-17th, the first annual Swamp Fox Biker Bash is attracting big names that will surely inspire bikers to make the ride—it's just 45 minutes from Myrtle Beach on Highway 501.
With his new band The Wildabouts, Scott Weiland will be performing at the world's largest bar at Swamp Fox on Wednesday, May 13th as part of an event designed to raise attention for
Motorcycle Safety and Drunk Driving Awareness. The event will be filmed for television, with sales and distribution handled by LA based shingle LocoDistro, headed up by the event's executive producer Gabriel Gornell. The legendary 44 million record-selling former frontman of such iconic bands as
Stone Temple Pilots and
Velvet Revolver is back in full force. Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts are supporting their upcoming album 'Blaster' set for release on March 31st.
Veteran southern rockers
Molly Hatchet will surely appeal to the biker crowd, and were added to the line-up for Saturday, May 16th at the 20,000-seat amphitheater stage on the bill that includes the previously announced Buckcherry. With classics like "Flirtin' With Disaster" and "Dreams I'll Never See,"
Molly Hatchet is the perfect addition to an already epic evening. "Molly Hatchet and
Buckcherry together on the same bill are pretty awesome. Put them in front of a biker audience—and it becomes a show that you don't want to miss. You just don't know what will happen. On the stage or in the crowd," said Gornell.
Added to the bar stage line-up for Friday, May 15th are the LA based rockers The Chimpz, who are largely known for having songs featured in the biker dramatic masterpiece—Sons Of Anarchy. On an explosive path, the video for their latest track "
California" has been in the Top 10 of Loudwire's Weekly Video Chart for 12 straight weeks! The Chimpz will be closing the bar stage before rocker-legend
Bret Michaels takes the stage at the amphitheater with The Flaunt Girls.
Motorcycles and rock n' roll have long gone together—but only now is the music experience as 'front and center' as the motorcycles. It's a concert series and music experience first, but it's dedicated to serving the biker community with rally events, rides, attractions, and non-stop live music from multiple stages. What's more, Swamp Fox Biker Bash is not only delivering the goods to the core group of established American-made motorcyclists—but also targeting both younger riders and female riders.
"By embracing music first as well as the younger riders and female riders, we're creating a next generation rally," says Robert Hartmann, the founder and CEO of Swamp Fox Entertainment Complex. Other artists previously announced include southern rock legends The Marshall Tucker Band and Season 7 winner of NBC's The Voice,
Craig Wayne Boyd, on Thursday, May 14th.
Hartmann continued, "As if motorcycles and music weren't enough, we're building a world-class amphitheater and festival ground here at the Swamp Fox Entertainment Complex that will soon include a record-breaking bar extending over 800-feet."
Other attractions involve biker emcee extraordinaire Dumptruck (the often-voice of Harley-Davidson and Jack Daniels), motorcycle "wall of death" stunt shows, build-offs, "I'm With The Band" readings from none other than
Pamela Des Barres, daily burlesque shows, body painting, daily mechanical bull contests with incredible prizes—and even live alligator wrestling. But the foundation is music—and for ten days, countless bands will be performing live from 10am until the wee hours every single day.
