Taylor Hicks is ready to put 2020 behind him and sing to some people. He’s got a date and a place to do just that: May 22 at the Flora-Bama, a joint that was a cradle to his music career long before “American Idol” made him a household name.
“When I was 17 years old I was happy just to play in the Flora-Bama,” he said. “I would have played outside in the parking lot if I could. I think a little bit of gray hair helped me actually get into the club when I was 17 or 18 years old.”
