The 2006 American Idol, Taylor Hicks, is coming to Branson’s Welk Resort Theatre for one concert on Monday, July 30 at 8 p.m. Tickets will go on sale Friday, May 11.

Hicks charmed America with his soulful voice and rousing delivery of songs such as “Takin’ It to the Streets,” to win the title of the fifth-season American Idol. The 29-year-old with salt-and-pepper hair and a legion of fans dubbed the “Soul Patrol” captured the hearts of more than 63.4 million people who voted him the 2006 American Idol.

Hicks’ debut single, “Do I Make You Proud,” debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Single Sales and Pop 100 charts last summer. His self-titled debut album was released on December 12, 2006. Taylor Hicks debuted at the number two spot on the Billboard 200 charts and was certified as an RIAA platinum album on January 17, 2007. Hicks was named “Hottest Bachelor” in 2006 by “People” magazine. His memoir, “Heart Full of Soul, an Inspirational Memoir about Finding Your Voice and Finding Your Way,” is scheduled for release in July.

“Taylor Hicks is one of the hottest concert tickets across America,” said Joe Sullivan, Executive Producer and General Manager of Welk-Sullivan Productions. “I encourage Taylor Hicks fans to get their tickets when they go on sale May 11 as I expect this concert to sellout quickly.”
