TIM HICKS COMPLETES FIRST LEG OF SOLD OUT 'THROW DOWN CLUB TOUR' AND ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL DATES FOR 2013 CONFIRMED TO PERFORM FOR CANADIAN TROOPS OVERSEAS THIRD RADIO SINGLE 'BUZZ BUZZ BUZZING' SEES HIGHEST DEBUT AT COUNTRY RADIO SINCE MAY OF 2011 Toronto, ON -- (October 3, 2013) -- Having just completed the western leg of his first headlining tour, which included SOLD OUT shows throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan, Country star Tim Hicks announced today that more dates will be added to the Throw Down Club Tour. Quickly earning a reputation from critics as one of Canadian Country music's best live performers, Hicks will head back out on the road later this month with additional dates in Ottawa and Penticton added to the schedule and more to be announced soon. Prior to kicking off the second leg of the Throw Down Club Tour, Hicks will join fellow Canadian artists Alan Frew and Tara Oram on a trip overseas to celebrate and perform for some of Canada's biggest heroes - the troops. "Throw Down", the highly anticipated and critically praised debut from Hicks was released in August and debuted as the #1 selling Canadian album overall and #1 Country album on the SoundScan Top 200 Albums Chart. The album follows Hicks' #1 selling self-titled digital EP and three radio hits including his latest single "Buzz Buzz Buzzing" - the top new entry at Country radio last week and the highest debut on the chart since May of 2011. With three runaway hits at radio, over 1.3 million views online, and a national fall tour almost completely sold out, it's no surprise that Hicks received his first Canadian Country Music Association Award nomination this year and was invited to perform during the 2013 CCMA Awards national broadcast last month in Edmonton. Hicks' fast rising success story is noteworthy and has garnered a lot of attention from the industry and fans alike. With over TBC million audience impressions at radio he has dominated Canadian Country radio and video airplay and continues to set the pace for a new wave of Country artists in Canada. "Get By" the GOLD certified Top 10 lead single from "Throw Down", soared up the charts in January and spent 17 weeks as the No. 1 selling Canadian Country single on iTunes. Hicks' solid identity as the 'one to watch' separates him from the rest of the crowd and puts him at the forefront -- poised for major success in Country's breathtaking rise to the top of all genres of music.
