Chuck Wicks
The 2011 The Farmer & The Chef event will be hosting country music singer, Chuck Wicks. An hour long concert will be performed by the Delaware native at the event.

Chuck Wicks took the country format by storm in 2008 with his Top 5 debut single, “Stealing Cinderella,” and his Top 15 follow-up hit, “All I Ever Wanted” (and earned a whole new audience of fans as a celebrity contestant on the ABC mega-hit Dancing with the Stars).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 paid off as he has continued to tour relentlessly including the entire 2008 Brad Paisley Tour. Chuck has just finished up a new project to be released this summer, which includes his song “Hold That Thought.” The video for “Hold That Thought” spent 8 weeks in the Top 10 on GAC’s Top 20 Countdown, including 2 weeks at #2.
