With Inspiration from Taylor Hicks, Happy Holidays from Taylor's Angels!

As we enjoy family and friends during this holiday season, we are reminded of the many blessings we have shared within the Soul Patrol Community. Not even two years ago, we each were separate, not knowing the boundless opportunities and friendships that waited as Taylor Hicks captured his dream. Now, our community is like a tapestry, woven together to support the career and artistry of the phenomenal talent of Taylor Hicks.

In celebration of the incredible accomplishments of individuals and groups within the Soul Patrol and to wish Taylor Hicks a joyous holiday season we, with your help, compiled this video that is now on it's way to Taylor himself! Our heartfelt gratitude is extended to each of you who assisted us in making this keepsake 2008 DVD.

For those who participated, a complimentary copy is on the way! Thanks also for your support throughout the year in our efforts to help others in need and to “Tay it Forward”!


And finally to Taylor himself:

Thank you for giving of yourself and making a difference in so many lives. As you have blessed us, it is our prayer that you and your family and friends will have a joyous holiday season and that the New Year be full of blessings!



Merry Christmas and a wonderfully successful 2009! May God continue to bless and guide you!

~ Leslie, Tina and Teri

Taylor Hicks... On The Road Again!

Taylor Hicks is on the road again reprising his role as "Teen Angel" in the national touring production of Grease! He has just finished recording a new CD which is due to be released February 10th, along with a new DVD called "Whomp At The Warfield".
Taylor will also start his own national tour later in 2009!
According to Taylor, the fans will get a preview of the single from that CD, during the Grease shows once the single is released.

" Once the album is finished, I will be doing a single off of the record. And then I will be doing a very intimate national club tour alongside the Grease tour, hopefully in each market we perform in. I'm pretty excited that the new music will start to grow legs from a live perspective. I'm actually going into really cool, intimate clubs across the country, performing new material before I go out on tour myself." ~ Taylor Hicks (interview with Sherry Lipton)

Taylor In The Studio

"My idea for this record was to try and find the greatest songs I possibly could. For me, having the time to be able to write and to be able to have those songs around me for an extended amount of time... I wanted to kind of live with the songs for awhile. I feel like my instincts on Idol were very similar to my instincts on this record. I've tried to really put great songs around me. In today's music - if you buy a CD, a whole album of songs - a lot of the songs are often similar in the way that they sound. But for me, there's a lot of different styles that I think are reflective of my artistic expression. I think with this record I've been able to hopefully take the listener on a musical journey into the songs I've written, and a lot of them touch on different styles. But the common thread is my voice. There's a lot of storytelling in the songs. I've been able to hop into different genres and pull out the greatest music that I can." ~ Taylor Hicks ( interview with Sherry Lipton)

Taylor's Angels wishes Taylor Hicks all the best on his new journey! See ya on the road!

In the Spirit of Thanksgiving, Taylor Hicks Fans Bring Smiles to Children

Give a smile to a child…

The Official Soul Patrol and The Taylor Hicks Community Birmingham Angel Tree

The bright lights of Christmas may be a little dim this year. We can change that…at least in a few Birmingham homes. This is a year when we really need to give from our hearts and provide a happy Christmas for another group of Birmingham area children this year. The 2008 Angel Tree is up and decorated. Angels are waiting for you to adopt them.

The OfficialSoulPatrol.com and The Taylor Hicks Community have teamed up with the Birmingham Salvation Amy to operate their own online Angel Tree.

Last year, TheOfficialSoulPatrol.com and The Taylor Hicks Community provided a much- needed Christmas to 10 children in Taylor’s home town with over $1,000 in donations and gifts.

The 2008 Angel Tree is like the ones you find in the mall each year. Presents of new toys and clothing are given to children of needy families in the Birmingham area. The Angel Tree will be done completely online, and the gifts you buy will be boxed up and mailed back to the Birmingham Salvation Army. Or, if you prefer, you can make a cash or credit card donation to the Angel Tree project via the link on the 2008 Angel Tree. ANY amount that you can give will be greatly appreciated. All donations will first be used for gifts for children on the Angel Tree. Any leftover funds will be used to adopt additional Angels from one of the other Birmingham Salvation Army’s Angel Trees. A Birmingham area super shopper will buy and deliver the presents to the Salvation Army.

The last day that you can adopt an Angel or make a donation online is November 30, 2008. All gifts must be received by the Birmingham Salvation Army no later than December 5, 2008. Complete information about purchasing and mailing gifts for your Angel will be sent to you with the Angel Card when you adopt an Angel.

Please adopt a Birmingham Angel!

Know the real spirit and joy of the Holidays. As we all celebrate with our family and friends, we can also light up the faces of our Birmingham Angels who will have the fun and excitement of opening presents!

Give generously from your heart!

Happy Thanksgiving from Taylor’s Angels!

At this time of the year, we are always reminded of the bountiful blessings received throughout the year. In our refection of this past year, we count each of you a true blessing and thank you for being a part of our mission- “Taying it Forward”. You have given of yourselves and helped make a difference in the lives of others. Because of you, we can look to the months ahead and know that many more people who would not otherwise have the opportunity will enjoy the phenomenal talents of Taylor Hicks and his music.

As you have blessed us with your generosity, we sincerely hope that you and your family will have a “bountiful harvest” this Thanksgiving!
