Tim Hicks isn91裸聊视频檛 used to the fancier-type venues he91裸聊视频檒l be playing this round, which would normally never have his redneck type in their fine establishments.
91裸聊视频淯sually they wouldn91裸聊视频檛 let me into a place like a theatre for fear that my fans might burn it down,91裸聊视频� said the Canadian country star on his Campfire Troubadour Tour.
It91裸聊视频檚 a first, among many, for the multi-platinum, five time JUNO Award nominee, who is foregoing the bigger venues to reach his loyal fans.
91裸聊视频淚t was a conscious thing to go, 91裸聊视频榳here else can we go that we haven91裸聊视频檛 gone before and reach some people we haven91裸聊视频檛 reached before,91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� said Hicks, who has been playing at the national level for 10 years in his 28 as a musician.
Like Vernon and Cranbrook.
This tour is for those who aren91裸聊视频檛 always able to make it to the bigger venues that generally draw concerts.
91裸聊视频淭hese folks are spending their hard-earned money to come be entertained by us,91裸聊视频� said Hicks, whose performance in Vernon is a first.
With support from rising B.C. artist Teigen Gayse, Hicks hits the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre stage Wednesday, Oct. 25 (only the second stop in his cross-Canada tour following Sidney). Following his Okanagan visit, Hicks hits Cranbrook Oct. 26 before moving east towards his hometown of Niagara Falls, ON.
He91裸聊视频檚 thrilled to hear that Vernon fans will be able to enjoy their beverages in the theatre, a newly implemented transition at the centre.
It91裸聊视频檚 only fitting since, 91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 singing about whisky and beer.91裸聊视频�
Backed by just two of his band members in a stripped-back acoustic setting, Hicks says 91裸聊视频渢his kind of show is very loose - I can just call it out.91裸聊视频�
He also explains that the atmosphere is different between east and west.
91裸聊视频淓very province has its own vibe,91裸聊视频� said the husband, and father of two.
But, he adds, 91裸聊视频淐anadian country fans are pretty much cut from the same cloth and very loyal.91裸聊视频�
Rounding out a decade of hits such as Yee To The Haw and Shake This, Hicks is honoured to be able to still hit the stage.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 humbling just the fact that people are still interested. It91裸聊视频檚 like winning the lottery getting to do what you love every day.91裸聊视频�
But it hasn91裸聊视频檛 always been so easy for Hicks.
Playing bars and dives for years started to wear on him in the early days, to the point where he asked his wife to get him an interview where she worked.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檝e had lots of low moments.91裸聊视频�
It was his bride who pushed him to keep pursuing his dream, even when he went to Nashville when his son was just five. And for that he is forever grateful.
