Taylor Hicks Nightclub News

by Jeanne on September 24th, 2007

A great Taylor Hicks fan sent me a nice little story (and picture) about the American Idol winner’s new club. It’s set to open in downtown Birmingham, Alabama and is rumored to be named “Idolville.”

Ruben Studdard, a fellow American Idol winner, is also opening a club in the same area.

Might it be an unofficial Idol showdown? Maybe, lol!

Here’s a part of the story:

The unnamed club will feature Hicks’ Southern-style rock as well as live entertainment by local and regional acts. Hicks also plans to perform at the club on a regular basis and other Idol performers are expected to appear from time to time.

Studdard signed a deal last month to open a nightspot to be called Ruben’s Club 205.

Elkington said Hicks and Studdard give the entertainment district, which will be next to the BJCC, the national and regional draw needed to make it a success.

“The key to our development is the entertainment district so Taylor and Ruben’s clubs will play a key role,” he said.

Efforts to reach Michael Douglas, the Birmingham attorney who signed the Hicks deal with Elkington, were unsuccessful Thursday.
