[3] In 2007, Tabb co-founded The Roots of Music, a non-profit after-school program for at-risk children ages 9–14 in New Orleans schools.

Rebirth Brass Band member Tabb and Allison Reinhardt co-founded The Roots of Music, a non-profit after-school program for Orleans Parish at-risk children ages 9–14.

The program is entirely free for the students and relies wholly on private and corporate donations and volunteers to cover operating expenses.

[8] On October 1, 2007, Tabb and his brother, trombonist Glen David Andrews, were arrested for "parading without a permit" and "disturbing the peace by tumultuous manner" in the Tremé neighborhood of New Orleans during a gathering honoring fellow musician, Kerwin James.

James, the younger brother of Rebirth founders, Phil and Keith Frazier, had died following complications from a stroke in 2006.

This incident, witnessed by resident news journalists, stirred the small community and sparked outcry against the police department, as street parades are inherent to the history and culture of New Orleans.

After several weeks of unrest and protest by neighborhood residents to the New Orleans Police Department and city council, in February 2008, the District Attorney dropped the charges without comment.

Tabb is credited as the snare drummer on all studio and live recordings billed as "Rebirth Brass Band" since 1997.
