If it is springtime and you are Taylor Hicks with a new album coming out in late fall, you must be torn between rolling out the tour bus and hitting the road or locking yourself away and writing music.
If it is springtime and you are a fan, you watch Twitter for new concert dates and for the tour bus coming to your town, or close enough to drive, and you hope the songwriting magically gets done for the new album coming out in the fall.
We want it all.
Just like last year? We all can suggest beautiful venues that are just down the road that are perfect for a Taylor Hicks show. Or why not go back to those from last year? Many were sold out.
Jonathan’s in Ogunquit, Maine, was sold out last year. This year it’s booked for Mother’s Day.
Genius. Who wouldn’t take your mother to the gorgeous New England restaurant with colorful and fragrant gardens surrounding?
Why not stick with a good thing—a plethora of vibrant live music venues all over the country, from small and intimate jazz clubs to decked-out casino halls, to historic and beautiful music theatres.
So, for no particular reason at all…
Where would you most like for Taylor to return to this summer?
Take our unscientific poll at the right. Perhaps “someone” will be reading and watching for the results!
Taylor Hicks and his 2011 Kick Ass Band might be coming to a place near you!
Oh, yeh, the songwriting…
Taylor, please take your music journal along and don’t eat the chocolate!

I chose the Highline Ballroom because it is in New York City and he will get the most exposure there. Actually I would like to see him at the Beacon in New York City , but the difference between 700 and 2400 seating capacity may not be viable.
It goes without saying that I hope Taylor returns to EPCOT as the audience is "built in " and diverse.
