Tim Hicks

Born in St. Catharines, Ontario, Tim Hicks has carved out a place in today’s Canadian country scene with a sound that blends country rock, crowd-pleasing choruses, and the drive of contemporary rock. After years playing bars and small venues around his hometown, he began turning heads on national country radio in the early 2010s, leading to his studio debut 'Throw Down' in 2013, followed by '5:01' in 2014 and 'Shake These Walls' in 2016—releases that cemented a style defined by electric guitars, brisk tempos, and slice-of-life storytelling. With 'New Tattoo' in 2018, Hicks leaned into a grittier approach while staying rooted in themes of the open road, parties, and relationships, then explored shorter formats with the EP 'Wreck This' (2020) and the acoustic EP 'Campfire Troubadour' (2021). The 2023 album 'Talk to Time' continues this blend of modern country, rock influences, and more reflective ballads. A constant on national tours and Canadian country festivals, Hicks moves between club shows and major outdoor stages, keeping his writing focused on straightforward, live-ready songs for a broad audience of fans of contemporary North American country.
