Jude Jams 2007 is an inaugural charity event sponsored by TrueJams Charities, Inc., a Louisiana based charity-utilizing music to bring comfort and help to Louisiana's children post-Katrina devastation, and NSU student fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon.
SCRAP METAL is a who's who of multi-platinum lead singers and front men, including Kelly Keagy of NIGHT RANGER whose number one rock hits include "Sister Christian", "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" and "You Can Still Rock In America"; Gunnar Nelson, son of Rock'n'Roll Legend Ricky Nelson, and half of rock group NELSON whose pop/rock number one hits with twin brother Matthew include "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection", "After the Rain", and "More Than Ever"; and Mark Slaughter of SLAUGHTER whose penned number one hits include "Up All Night Sleep All Day" and "Fly to the Angels".
"St Jude's is the home of hope for thousands of children and their families every year. I would walk through fire to help one child with cancer ... Let alone thousands," passionately vows SCRAP METAL co-founder Gunnar Nelson. "This concert is my chance to do that ... AND I even get to shred some eardrums in the process! Sounds like a perfect night to me!"
"We have a great city, a perfect venue and a campus full of rock and roll fans to help us give back to St. Jude's. It's going to be an amazing night," enthuses band co-founder and True Jams Board Member Mark Slaughter. "You know helping your fellow human beings doesn't have to be a downer. We can still throw a party and celebrate our freedoms while remembering those who need a helping hand. Come help us give something back. SCRAP METAL can't wait to rock you in Natchitoches, Louisiana!"
