BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Ontario-born Tim Hicks began taking music lessons at age six and formed his first band the following year. He struggled throughout his 20s to get a record contract, and in 2012 he got a big break when he was invited to open for Dallas Smith and Chad Brownlee on their Boys of Fall tour. A deal with Open Road Recordings followed soon after, and in 2013 Hicks released his debut album Throw Down. The record was a success, peaking at No. 16 on the Canadian Albums Chart and establishing him as one of the country's most dynamic young songwriting talents with Top 10 hits like "Get By" and "Hell Raisin' Good Time". 2014 proved another big year for the singer as he hit the road with Dierks Bentley for the Riser Tour and released his sophomore album 5:01. The album peaked at No. 7 in Canada, spawning another string of successful singles and generating major excitement among fans for his continued touring.
