Footlights: A Community Theater Podcast - Chris Hicks

Chris Hicks is a bluesy Southern rock guitarist who has played with Gregg Allman, Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Marshall Tucker Band, among others. Based in Macon, GA, where he was inspired by Otis Redding and James Brown, Hicks played with his band the Experience at various blues festivals around the South. His group opened up for Steppenwolf and Charlie Daniels during the 1980s, and later that decade, Hicks was asked to join the Outlaws. After the Outlaws disbanded in 1996, Hicks was the lead guitarist for the Marshall Tucker Band for one year before he became a solo act, with 1998's Funky Broadway.~ John Bush, All Music Guide
