August 8, 2017 Simcoe, Ontario -
the Norfolk County Fair & Horse Show, is thrilled to announce the
second concert performance at the Grandstand for this year’s fair.
On Friday, October 6thth at 8:00 pm, CCMA Nominated Male Artist of the Year, Canadian Country superstar Tim Hicks will take the stage.
Hot
off headlining his “Shake These Walls Tour,” Hicks has continued to do
what he does best: connect with audiences from coast to coast and
beyond.
With a resume of a veteran that includes seven Top 10 singles
on Canadian country radio, #1 country album for 5:01, multiple CCMA and
SOCAN wins and JUNO nods he has earned coveted spots on prestigious
festival stages nationwide. His 2017 Shake These Walls tour charted a
path that is completely new and shoots straight for the country music
stratosphere.
“As
each year on this crazy ride goes by, I just feel more comfortable as
Tim Hicks, the artist,” Hicks says. “The challenge of trying to write a
good song is still one of the most exciting parts of my job.”
2017
continues to be a rocket ride for Tim Hicks with CCMA Nominations for
both Male Artist of the Year and Interactive Artist of the Year! “Slide
Over” was Sirius Radio Country’s Most Wanted Song. Tim has gone
platinum with “Get By” and double platinum certification for his hit
“Stronger Beer.”
This
is Tim Hicks’ premier performance at the Fair thanks to our community
partners including Simcoe Reformer, Scotlynn, BX93 and the Province of
Ontario.
