Wherever in America you are today while tuning into this now famous Wickles Family blog, I will bet my bottom dollar it is HOT! How hot is it? Hotter than a two dollar pistol but one thing that is certain, Wickles Pickles, along with some new found friends, have raised the temperature on the thermometer and also decimal levels all across this country for the summer with a new partnership!
The Wickles Family is very happy to announce that we will be along for the ride this summer with one of country music's hottest new stars,
Drake White. This now aspiring singer- songwriter from The Great State of Alabama has been recently residing in Nashville, TN and is a self described "
God fearing, river rat, beach bum that loves the outdoors and expresses this love through his soulful lyrics!" In case you have missed his work, let me show you that soulful passion with a little

Drake White and his BBQ Band will not only be an act for Willie Nelson's now famous Country Throwdown Tour, but also along with Wickles Pickles, this fiery young singer will help create a summer-like atmosphere back stage for both guest and other tour band members! What an awesome gig! A little Drake White, a little cold beer, a little Wickles Pickles and a whole lot of soul, rhythm, and summer entertainment! Other awesome entertainers on that tour include Jamey Johnson, Randy Houser, Jack Ingram, Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert, Craig Campbell, and Lukas Nelson. Not to mention one of the most famous country outlaws of all-time,
Willie Nelson! That is sure enough solid country gold!

This weekend, like many others, there are several bands playing Friday night and Saturday afternoon at Standard Deluxe located on the old Hwy 280. June 10th and 11th, there is a very special showcase featuring many artists from Birmingham and proceeds will go to the relief of tornado victims in the area. For more info, contact
