CHUCK WICKS: Biography (http://www.chuckwicks.com)

Everyone has heard the phrase “practice makes perfect” and though it’s a mantra more often associated with sports than songwriting, it’s just as apropos for that vocation as any other endeavor--just ask singer/songwriter Chuck Wicks.

Though he took the country format by storm with his Top 5 debut single, “Stealing Cinderella,” and his Top 15 follow-up hit, “All I Ever Wanted” (and recently earned a whole new audience of fans as a celebrity contestant paired with real-life girlfriend Julianne Hough on the ABC mega-hit Dancing with the Stars), it hasn’t all come easy. Wicks spent several years paying his dues by parking cars and writing songs. He developed his craft, apprenticing with some of the top songwriters on Music Row. That hard work pays off on Starting Now, Wicks’ RCA Nashville debut album, which showcases the depth of his artistry as a vocalist and songwriter.

“If it wasn’t for the Music Row community and a lot of the songwriters around town, there’s no way I would be where I’m at now,” says Wicks, who wrote or co-wrote every song on his album, except one.
 

The Story Behind the Bull Ride Mania Logo (http://www.bullridemania.com)

The Bullride Mania logo was developed by the bullfighter, Steve Harpster.

Steve broke both legs getting a bullrider free from a bull. While Steve was "laid up", Dave Martin asked him to design and draw the logo. The only specs were draw the bull to be "evil, wicked, mean and nasty".

Great fun! Great excitement! Its Demolition Derby night. Come and see the race with big crashes, loud engines, and major destruction. Only the strong survive!
