Louisiana Biker Magazine has proudly partnered with
the Hammond based artist collective, The Workshop,
for The 2016 Tabfest Charity Jam. This is the event’s
4th year of presenting good music, great food, family
fun and most importantly; a chance to make to difference in a child’s life. Together we will be collecting
pop tabs and cash donations for the Ronald McDonald House Charity of Greater New Orleans.
The Hwy.16 Scrap Yard of Amite and The Workshop
will provide a mountain of cans to be tabbed throughout the course of the day. All event-goers are encouraged to spend at least a few minutes pulling tabs for
the cause.
This year’s event will include over a dozen musical
acts playing everything from metal to jazz rock to
hip-hop. The MC duties will be shared by hip-hop
duo Cappastron and Jason Johnson. The headlining
band will be regional fan favorite ZYNC. Also playing: Shadow Giant. Jojjo Rocs Live, Troy Bennett,
Slapface!, The Angry 88, Common Situation, Cappastron, The N.W.S., Little Bird, Woods Colt, W.C. Toes,
Sally and Charles Dean Jefferis.
Other exciting activities will include surprise givea-ways and the drawing of six lucky raffle ticket
winners. 100% of all proceeds from the raffle will be
donated to The Ronald McDonald House Charity of
Greater New Orleans.
As event-goers harvest tabs and enjoy live music,
local chefs Chris Cruz, Kevin Cote and Rudy Rodgers
will be donating their time and resources to produce
an amazing Louisiana style feast. As per the Tabfest
tradition chef ’s will prepare crawfish, jambalaya and
pot luck meals as long as supplies last. So come out,
join the fun and bring all the tabs you can.
This year’s event is held in honor of our fallen brother
Lucas “Mr. Yummy” Leemans who was both great in
stature and generosity. Lucas has provided delicious
food and unyielding dedication since the very first
Tabfest in 2013. He will be missed. This year’s event
organizers are jCallender, Damien Michael DiMattia,
Tommy ‘Tomcat’ Patterson, Sason Black, Rudy Rodgers, Sara Ciolino, Andrew Kinchen, Donnie Vicknair
& Joanie Rodgers.
On Thursday, April 21st Tabfest and Louisiana Biker
Magazine will host a special Biker’s Night event at
the Santa Fe Steak House located in the Hammond
Square Mall. The event will be an extension of The
2016 Tabfest Charity Jam and will include live music
