His fans are called the Soul Patrol, which clues you into the musical approach of singer-songwriter and "American Idol" veteran Taylor Hicks. If you're into songs performed in the emotionally naked, old-school R&B style, he's your man. And while Hicks is no substitute for Sam Cooke or Otis Redding, he has the clear advantage of not being dead. The show is at 8 p.m. at the Pageant, 6161 Delmar Boulevard. Tickets are $45.
