Big names added to previously announced line up that includes Bret Michaels, Buckcherry, Craig Wayne Boyd, and The Marshall Tucker Band

MARION, S.C., March 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 13(th) 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 31(st).

Veteran southern rockers Molly Hatchet will surely appeal to the biker crowd, and were added to the line-up for Saturday, May 16(th) 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 15(th) 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'sThe Voice, Craig Wayne Boyd, on Thursday, May 14(th).

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.

In partnership with PledgeMusic, tickets are available here with single day and multi-day packages on sale now. http://swampfoxbikerbash.com/tickets/

Swamp Fox Entertainment Complex:
Newly launched in 2015, the Swamp Fox Entertainment Complex is home to a 20,000-seat amphitheater, 250-acre festival ground, and is soon-to-claim the world's largest bar. The complex will host several major festival events per year along with regularly scheduled concerts. In December of 1847 the South Carolina legislature officially named the 4.3 square mile city that would eventually become the home of this Complex and Amphitheater. The name they chose was Marion--after Francis Marion, the hero Brigadier General from the American Revolutionary War. Francis Marion earned the nickname "Swamp Fox" from a British Colonel who was unable to capture him in the swamps of South Carolina. The name Swamp Fox has since become synonymous with the city of Marion itself and an endearing nickname for American fortitude and down-home values. www.SwampFoxBikerBash.com
