Robbinsville – It was announced last week that an “American Idol” winner will be performing locally next year.
Taylor Hicks won Season 5 of the vastly-popular talent show, launching his career as a famous musician. The soul/country singer agreed on a $15,000 contract – paid for by the Robbinsville Tourism Authority – to perform in Robbinsville on May 7, 2022, at Modeal Walsh Memorial (Big Oaks) Stadium.
The purpose of the concert is to raise money for the local Robbinsville Band Boosters, headed by Allison Grooms. Grooms and Hicks have been friends for over 17 years. The opening act is still being decided at this time and will likely be announced soon.
Ticket prices will be $10 for adults and $5 for children.
