Taylor Hicks--across four Januaries...

January 17 has been a good day for Taylor Hicks.

January 17, 2006~~American Idol Season 5 premiered with a two hour special. Unknown to the rest of the world at the time, Taylor Hicks, struggling to make his voice heard, had in his hand the golden ticket to Hollywood and the competition that would change his life forever. It was a year that would change many of our lives.

January 17, 2007~~“Taylor Hicks,” his first post-Idol album, was certified platinum by RIAA. With a grueling American Idol tour behind him, “Taylor Hicks” on the street, and his first Modern Whomp Solo Tour ahead, this platinum-certified artist and his fans prepared for travel, travel and more travel. This year was headed out on tour with Taylor Hicks, who set a new standard for touring musicians that said never phone it in, and you can still sing your heart out when you are sick. It was a year that few of us will ever forget!

January 17, 2008~~ A relaxed and smiling, Taylor Hicks played a respectable game of golf in the Bob Hope Classic in Palm Springs. The beautiful day in Southern California was the calm before the storm. Broadway was waiting! This year was going to sparkle on the Broadway stage. 2008 was indeed another memorable year!

Today, January 17, 2009, Taylor will do what he loves most…entertaining people with his music. After his Grease performances, Taylor will take the stage at Martyr’s in Chicago where it is presumed that he will perform for the first time his new single release, “What’s Right is Right.” If anyone can warm up a cold Chicago, it is Taylor!

As Taylor proudly brings to Martyr’s his new music, this year promises a new journey paved with Taylor’s own incredible music, more travel, and more amazing memories.

Not bad for four Januaries!

Congratulations, Taylor! You’ve come a long way in three short years. Revel in this day at Martyr’s with a new song for another exciting journey!

It’s a good day!

“What’s Right is Right” impacts radio play on Tuesday, January 20. “The Distance” released on Taylor’s own record label, Modern Whomp Records, will hit music stands on March 10. Taylor Hicks—still making his voice heard!
