JUNO Award nominee and CCMA Award winner Tim Hicks announced that he will hit the road in 2017 for the Shake These Walls Tour.

The follow-up to 2014’s CCMA Award nominated sophomore album 5:01/5:01+, “Shake These Walls” is a combination of slick party-fueled anthems, blue collar country and free-spirited romance, shaping the evolution of an artist the Toronto Star named “one to watch” and one who remains intent on leading the pace within an evolving musical landscape. Co-written by Hicks, “Shake These Walls” debuted as the #1 selling Canadian Country Album on the Nielsen SoundScan Top Country Albums Chart, bringing the acclaimed country artist front and centre for his proverbial close-up.
With over 378,000 total digital singles sold to date, Hicks is currently celebrating his highest charting hit with “Stompin’ Ground” which was the #1 most added song at Canadian Country Radio upon release and topped the digital singles chart for one week as the best-selling Canadian country song.
Hicks recently headlined the Pepsi Live Main Stage at the Scotiabank World Cup of Hockey Fan Village, which also saw appearances from The Killers, Sam Roberts Band and the legendary Lenny Kravitz. After wrapping a summer filled with blockbuster festival and headlining appearances, including his 4th coveted slot at the Boots and Hearts Music Festival (the most of any artist), Hicks will release the fan favourite track “Slow Burn” to radio in coming weeks.
