Taylor Hicks is a soul singer who achieved fame in 2006 as the winner of the fifth season of American Idol.

His energetic stage performances and influences derived from classic rock, blues, and R&B music had earned him a following of devout fans, who have been dubbed the "Soul Patrol."

• Taylor is donating a stage played and signed harmonica, his signature instrument!
• In addition, he's happy to have a phone call with the winning bidder to talk about all things Idol, his hosting duties on the hit show 'State Plate' and where to find the best grub in every US state, and all things BBQ!
• He's even throwing in some award-winning sauce from his restaurant in Birmingham, Alabama, Saw's BBQ!
