Nashville, TN (February 15, 2010) -- Susan Hickman explains how classic rock, opera and religious music fueled her love of song and gave her the drive and desire to entertain in the Listen Up! feature of February 22's issue of
Country Weekly (on stands today). The Texas beauty also gives the magazine's readers a sneak peek at her upcoming CD (SUSAN HICKMAN), with a free download of
"One Of Those Who Makes It Up There." The track is available now through March 1 from
www.countryweekly.com/freemusic.
"I grew up singin' in the choir," Hickman explains. "But there's been a lot of living 'in between' the church and the honky tonks and festivals where I perform now," the petite 24-year old says with a laugh. "And I've learned a lot along the way."
The singer will take that knowledge and her energetic stage show with her when she begins her first European tour next month. Billed as the "
3 Star Texas BBQ Tour," Susan joins fellow entertainers Jody Booth and Liz Talley for 10-day tour (March 5-14) that covers Germany, Holland and Switzerland.
