Chuck Wicks Signs New Record Deal, Plans New Single Late January and Album in 2014
Wicks took to his Facebook page HERE yesterday and announced what many records executives had already known this past weekend on a retreat to Las Vegas, that he will join several other artists including Hank Williams, Jr., Lucas Hoge and Aaron Lewis on the label. Wicks independently released an EP titled Rough in April of this year and it will make up half of the record. Wicks will go into the studio over this holiday break and record the other half of the project with songs he has written and selected already.
Wicks originally grew up in Delaware and a passion for baseball led to collegiate play in Florida and the fall-back plan called for potato farming if he didn’t make it to the big-leagues. But while in college, Wicks wrote his first song and it changed everything. During his senior year, his musical dreams eclipsed his athletic aspirations and a trip to Nashville sealed the deal. Two classes short of graduation, he left school and followed his heart to Tennessee. An early developmental deal fell through, but after several years of writing songs, playing small shows, and parking cars at Fleming’s Steak House, a record deal with RCA Records came to fruition. RCA released Starting Now and this new Blaster project will be his second full-length album.

The Morton Golf Foundation
The mission of the Morton Golf Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity, is to provide golf programs that provide exercise in a healthy outdoor environment, to create a recreational environment that builds lasting personal development and that seamlessly introduces life’s core values of the great game of golf to the youth, disabled and underserved communities in the Sacramento region.
Jenna and Patrick’s Hope Foundation
This foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization is in existence to help us find a cure for cystinosis. The foundation provides fundraising and marketing resources to strengthen nonprofit organizations and benefit local children and youth programs. Cystinosis is a rare metabolic disease that affects approximately 500 people in the United States (mostly children),and about 2,000 people worldwide. This disease causes the amino acid “cystine” to accumulate in the cells of the body. Over time, the cystine damages various organs including the kidneys, liver, muscles, white blood cells, eyes, and central nervous system. Other complications include muscle wasting, growth loss, difficulty swallowing, and developmental delays.
The Players:
Montgomery Gentry – This duo is headlining Tuesday night’s Golf and Guitar’s KNCI Music Festival. This duo has had a notable career, complete with fourteen Top 10 singles, including five No. 1s, “Something To Be Proud Of,” “If You Ever Stop Loving Me,” Lucky Man,” “Back When I Knew It All” and “Roll With Me”. Their newest collection, Rebels on the Run promises to bring “Montgomery Gentry fans back to the beginning, but with a fresh attitude.”
Joe Nichols – Four Grammy nominations, a CMA Album of the Year nomination and a stream of chart topping hits, including “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off“, “Gimmie That Girl” and “Brokenheartsville” will make Joe a welcome addition to the 2013 Golf and Guitars KNCI Music Festival!
Jack Ingram – Jack has been a longtime host of Golf and Guitars and we are thrilled he is back for another year! In 2008, Jack Ingram won the 2008 Academy of Country Music award for “Best New Male Vocalist” and we can look forward to hearing new music from his latest album Big Dreams and High Hopes.
Joey + Rory – Joey and Rory first made a splash when they signed up for CMT’s 2008 Can You Duet and placed third in the competition. Many may know them best from their hit single “Cheater Cheater” but they are finding new fans each week on their new weekly variety show, The Joey+Rory Show on RFD-TV which is filmed entirely on their quaint farm and family-owned cafe Marcy Jo’s Mealhouse.
Thomas Rhett – His first single, “Something To Do With My Hands” will quickly reveal why every record company that Thomas auditioned for wanted to sign him. There is an urban streak and a mixture of country and rock in his music- a combination that is definitely driving the direction of country music today.
Chris Cagle – Chris has two gold albums, two No. 1 albums and 12 charted songs, including “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out“. In 2012, Chris released his latest album, Back in the Saddle.
Joanna Smith – Joanna is comfortable performing on stage. That has always been her dream! You can look forward to hearing her perform her sultry ballad,”We Can’t Be Friends” on our stage Monday night!Greg Bates – A relative newcomer to Nashville, Greg made his Grand Ole Opry debut in April 2012. His first single, “Did It for the Girl” was released in 2012 and the second single, “Fill in the Blank” is brand new to country radio!
Brett Eldredge – Brett is another favorite and repeat performer at Golf and Guitars. His 2010 debut, “Raymond” was inspired by Brett’s own grandmother and I still remember him performing it in concert at our show. His current single “Don’t Ya” shows off Brett’s incredibly sexy baritone – he’ll be a fun one to watch!
Jerrod Niemann – You know Jerrod from his No. 1 hit “Lover, Lover” and his Top 5 single, “What Do You Want“. At Golf and Guitars, you can also look forward to hearing new music from his latest album, Free The Music, which defines how Jerrod feels about country today.
Maggie Rose – Maggie may be a new introduction to our line-up, but I know we’ll remember her name after we hear her sing! Her album, Cut to Impress, will be released on March 26th and the title of the album comes from a lyric in the second verse of her song, “Mostly Bad.”
Jason Michael Carroll – Jason has been a fabulous supporter of Golf and Guitars in the past and we are thrilled to welcome him back again in 2013! His unmistakable deep voice and undeniable talents can be found on his hits “I Can Sleep When I’m Dead“, “Livin’ Our Love Song” and “Alyssa Lies“.
Kristen Kelly – Kristen’s first single “Ex-Old Man” was released in 2012 and her new single, “He Loves to Make Me Cry” just came out in February. Kristen’s biggest influence is Merle Haggard. We look forward to welcoming her to Sacramento in May!
Dustin Lynch – If you were at last year’s Golf and Guitars, then you remember “Cowboys and Angels” being performed and the performance was outstanding! This year, let’s rock out to his newest single, “She Cranks My Tractor“.
Chuck Wicks – I think Chuck could run Golf and Guitars for us – he has been a staunch supporter of our event for many years and he always proves to be a crowd favorite among the ladies. He has a fabulous sense of humor and I really think we should give him a Flip camera and turn him loose in the crowd – I’m sure he’d capture some great interviews for us again! Perhaps best known for his hit songs, “Stealing Cinderella” and “All I Ever Wanted“, Chuck has announced that he will be releasing a new EP Rough on April 2nd.
Canaan Smith – If you were a Golf and Guitars VIP ticket holder in 2012, then Canaan’s name might sound familiar because he performed during our Pairings Party last year. Otherwise, you may have caught him on tour with Love and Theft. Canaan’s lastest single, “We Got Us” was released last year and he was a contestant during the 15th season of The Amazing Race. Cool trivia fact!
Love & Theft – Love and Theft has had a number of hit singles, including “Runaway”, “Dancing in Circles” and the No. 1 hit “Angel Eyes”. This year, they have also been nominated for the ACM vocal Duo of the Year – let’s cheer them on!
BONUS! BONUS!
And our pre-show entertainer on day one, Heidi Feek, has songwriting and performing royalty in her blood. She is the daughter of Rory Feek and Joey Martin of Joey + Rory and her beautiful voice and fantastic songwriting skills will be on display starting at 5 PM on 5/20.
Our pre-show entertainers on day two, Summerlin Road, will be another great highlight of the night. Johnny Bulford is the pen behind Lee Brice’s “A Woman Like You” and his duo partner Chris Roberts was formerly with One Flew South. Together, they make up the duo Summerlin Road with Warner-Chappel Publishing.

Golf & Guitars Children's Charity Concert Recap- Day One
I will freely admit that Golf and Guitars is my favorite event each year at Haggin Oaks. KNCI does an outstanding job of bringing the best and brightest talent into Sacramento each year and 2012 marks our 5th year hosting this awesome fundraiser.
On Monday, May 21st, I headed out to Haggin Oaks for the Pairings Party Night which also included a new artist showcase concert for the tournament players, their guests and VIP ticket holders. Golf and Guitars is all about raising money for charity and this year's event is expected to raise close to $75000 for the Morton Golf Foundation and JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). Simply stated: WOW!
At 6pm, the concert opened with Summerlin Road, featuring Chris Roberts and Johnny Bulford. Chris has been at Golf and Guitars all five years that we have held this event. You may know him best from One Flew South and he's back with a great new duo that you're sure to hear on the radio soon! They played "Get Outta My Bed" and "If He Loves Her Like I Do" before introducing the crowd to "I Didn't Count on This". Talk about new music! "I Didn't Count on This" was played for the first time in front of a crowd tonight and I absolutely LOVE this song! Hopefully it is destined to hit the radio waves soon. (Are you listening KNCI?)
"This is a fantastic event. It just gets better year after year!" - Chris Roberts
The lovely and talented Jana Kramer took the stage and opened her set with a song called "Whiskey". Mark your calendars, because Jana will be back in town in early July when she opens for Brad Paisley. She calls herself Sassyfrass, because "I don't want to kill any of my ex-boyfriends, I just want them to suffer a little bit." She also belted out "Why Ya Wanna" - I look forward to catching her later this summer during Brad Paisley's tour.
Between sets, Kodiak from KNCI 105.1FM named pairings for Tuesday's tournament.
James Wesley was next to take the stage sporting his new Adidas shoes and definite golf gear - I'm guessing James had already put in a round out there on the course today. He started his night on stage with one of the very first songs he found after moving to Nashville. He dedicated "Real" to the members of the military serving our great United States of America.
Dustin Lynch took the stage to sing "One More Lap Around This Town". Interesting fact: Dustin grew up not far from the Jack Daniels distillery. Dustin has an amazing voice and I was very impressed when he sang "You're Amazing Just the Way You Are." He ended his set with "Cowboys and Angels" which was inspired by his parents and grandparents who both childhood sweethearts. Great song!
The Farm takes the stage and blew the crowd away. The Farm features Damien Horne (who started with the Music Mafia - you know - Gretchen Wilson, Big and Rich, etc), Krista Marie (who told the crowd she is "a dirty girl" meaning she is a motorcross champion - you go Girl!) and Nick Hoffman who was the fiddle player for Kenny Chesney for the past 12 years. This group knows how to rock a crowd. They were awesome and certainly brought the house down. They have a new record coming out July 17th and I strongly urge everyone to pick it up as soon as it hits the shelves.
A surprise add-on to the night took place when Chuck Wicks walked on stage and performed several of his classic hits and introduced us to a few new ones coming out soon too! He started with "Old School" and then performed "I Don't Do Lonely Well". Look for this song on Jason Aldean's new album that debuts in September.
Brett Eldredge hopped on stage for another unscheduled, yet very welcome performance. He sang "It Ain't Gotta Be Love", "One Mississippi", "Get a Little Thirsty" and "Raymond". He went fishing with Pat and Tom from KNCI 105.1FM earlier this morning and they provided the most entertaining live fishing show in the history of radio!
Steve Holy admits to being "the worst golfer in the NFL" which brought lots of laughter from the crowd. He sang a few of my favorites, including "She Hauled Off & Kissed Me", "Good Morning Beautiful" and "I've Got a Brand New Girlfriend". It was fun to watch The Farm singing along to "I've Got a Brand New Girlfriend" from the sidelines as they were out in the crowd, pulling up a few chairs and having a good time.
As the night continued, the crowd and groups were loosening up more and more as the night was cooling off and the music was heating up!
Canaan Smith came onstage this evening just for tonight's concert. He's driving to Los Angeles tonight for a show there tomorrow and it was a treat that he stopped by to play some music for our crowd. He sang "Put a Little Something in that Coozie" and "We've Got Us".
Love and Theft took the stage as our final act of the night to a standing ovation. The women here this evening are all big fans of Love and Theft and they played a new song for the crowd before singing their hit "Runaway" and their new single "Angel Eyes".

Chuck Wicks, The Comic- Our Last 2009 Golf & Guitars Update
As most of our loyal readers know, we were blessed to put on an event a couple Fridays ago called Golf & Guitars. It was a big golf pro-am tournament and concert featuring 13 major-label country music acts. We’ve already posted videos of Bucky Covington, John Michael Montgomery & One Flew South singing on TNS. This post is about the guy that probably had the most fun- Chuck Wicks. The Dancing With The Stars alum was in rare comic form the entire day. We have three videos to share from the day featuring Mr. Wicks.This first is Chuck bringing tournament playing partner (and friend of mine) Steve Fidler up on stage to help him serenade his wife Megan with a rendition of “Better On The Floor.” Steve and Chuck brought the house down with laughter…
Chuck also used the radio station staff and did impromptu video interviews with concert attendees and they’re a riot as well. Watch them below…
