TUOLUMNE, CA – American Idol winner Taylor Hicks will be performing at Black Oak Casino in August.

Since then, Hicks’ debut album went platinum and he has appeared in concerts worldwide and performed with Willie Nelson, Gladys Knight, Earth Wind and Fire, The Allman Brothers, Snoop Dog, and more. Hicks also earned the title of “Hottest Bachelor of the Year” from People Magazine.
