Hicks From Sweden by Hayride?

Hicks’ Show Notes Hicks discusses his music background, including how he became a country artist in a country that just doesn’t get country music. We chatted a bit about learning foreign languages, his collaborations, how he became part of MTS Management Group. You’ll find out what a tennis racket has to do with his musical history. Yes, I said a tennis racket. You’ll also learn about his band situation since he plays in Europe and the United States. We talk about why he is doing so many radio and podcast interviews (GUESS WHAT! there is more Hicks Music coming soon!) I got him to do some name dropping, names that even I know, a dedicated rock guy.

Keith and I were mere acquaintances, but every year at Rock for Life he would go out of his way to chat with me. He was a nice guy by all reports and an amazing drummer. This is a huge loss to our local music scene. We would like to extend our sincere condolences to Keith’s family and friends. Being a healthy and young man Keith did not have have health or life insurance and a Go Fund Me page was started to help his family out with this terrible situation.
