BAND SPOTLIGHT | Still Kick’n

What can you say about this band that hasn’t already been said? Here’s one thing – this Saturday is the extremely popular group’s final show. Yes, we won’t have Still Kick’n to “kick around” any more after this weekend as members Kelsey Hickman (lead vocals), Pat McCue (lead vocals, backup vocals, keyboards, acoustic guitar), Don Hinkle (electric guitar, steel guitar), John Peters (bass) and Bill Wikoff (drums) decided to call it quits after nearly a decade as one of the top country music bands in the region. Winners of reader’s choice awards in both Illinois Times and the State Journal-Register for several years running, the group officially called itself, “Central Illinois’ Hottest Country Band” and lived up to the name. Through the years several members came and went forming various band configurations, but this final collection of these five is the Still Kick’n to remember as they took the band to a new level, kept it there and quit while on top. Congratulations on a great run from all your fans and friends. When’s the reunion show?
