‘AMERICAN IDOL’ WINNER TAYLOR HICKS WILL PERFORM AT LVHA’S 2012 DISTINCTION AWARDS GALA DINNER CELEBRATION

 

 

LAS VEGAS HOSPITALitY ASSOCIATION SALUTES iNDUSTRy lEADers

 

LAS VEGAS – Sept. 14, 2012 - “American Idol” season five winner and recent Bally’s Las Vegas summer headliner Taylor Hicks will be the featured performer at the Las Vegas Hospitality Association’s 2012 Distinction Awards dinner gala on Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, room N245 through N251from 5:30 – 9 p.m. The event will honor four outstanding hospitality leaders and one hospitality business. The evening’s emcee will be public speaker and best-selling author Jack Sheehan. All proceeds from the event will go to benefit the LVHA Scholarship Fund.

In a way, Hicks, who hails from Birmingham, Ala., began his rise to fame in Las Vegas because he was in New Orleans the night before Hurricane Katrina. His flight was cancelled and he was given a free airplane voucher, which he used to travel to Las Vegas, where coincidentally “American Idol” auditions were being held.

On “American Idol,” Taylor’s material was an interesting take on southern soul, R & B, country and blues. Less than three weeks after Hicks won, his debut single, “Do I Make You Proud,” entered at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100, Pop 100 and Single Sales charts. Coinciding with the single release, a cover story named him “People” magazine’s “Hottest Bachelor of the Year.”

Since winning Idol, Hicks has performed with the likes of Willie Nelson, Snoop Dog, Gladys Knight, Earth Wind and Fire and The Allman Brothers, has appeared in concerts worldwide and written an autobiography, “Heart Full of Soul.”
