Taylor Hicks inks new deal with A2M
Taylor Hicks celebrated his birthday yesterday (10/7) by announcing a new deal with the independent artist services company Artist To Market to release his new album, due in stores Feb. 10. Under the new deal, the Season 5 "American Idol" winner will maintain complete control of direction and ownership of his master recordings on his solely owned and operated Modern Whomp Records label, according to a press release.
Hicks--who, since his win, has performed with artists including Willie Nelson, Widespread Panic, The Allman Brothers and Jackson Browne--appeared on Broadway this summer in "Grease." Beginning Dec. 1, he will perform in a touring production of the musical.
In August, Hicks released a reissue compilation of his two independent albums. He also is planning the release of "Whomp at the Warfield," a live DVD recorded at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco.
