With one of the most unmistakable voices in Country music, Trace Adkins has built a career as big and bold as his baritone. Over the past three decades, he’s sold more than 11 million albums, racked up 40 charting singles, earned multiple GRAMMY nominations and tallied over 2 billion streams – and he’s not slowing down.
A proud member of the Grand Ole Opry for over 20 years, the Louisiana native first burst onto the scene with 1996’s Dreamin’ Out Loud, which delivered the Top 5 smash “Every Light in the House” and his first #1 hit “This Ain’t (No Thinkin’ Thing).” Since then, Adkins has carved out a place in the genre with a mix of heartfelt ballads and crowd-pleasing anthems, from “You're Gonna Miss This” and “Ladies Love Country Boys” to “Songs About Me” and the rowdy, unforgettable “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.”
He’s also no stranger to collaboration, teaming up with Blake Shelton on the #1 hit “Hillbilly Bone” and joining forces with Snoop Dogg, Pitbull, Melissa Etheridge, Luke Bryan and even Stevie Wonder on his acclaimed 25th anniversary album, The Way I Wanna Go. Praised by Billboard as “a creative tour de force” and by Rolling Stone as “lighthearted club-ready fun,” the album is a testament to Adkins’ versatility and staying power. Don’t miss seeing him and a soon to be announced special guest at the Fair!
