Country Star Trace Adkins to Perform at Mayo Center This May

Country star Trace Adkins performs at Mayo Performing Arts Center on Thursday, May 18 at 8 pm. Tickets are $51.50-$91.50.

Adkins is on tour in support of his new studio album, Something's Going On, available everywhere on March 31. His first release on BBR Music Group/Wheelhouse Records, the album features contributions from some of Nashville's most respected songwriters, like Tyler Farr, Craig Campbell and Shane McAnally.

Trace Adkins' trademark baritone has powered countless hits to the top of the charts and sold over 10 million albums, cumulatively. His hit list includes "You're Gonna Miss This," "Ladies Love Country Boys," "Songs About Me," "Every Light In The House," "Hillbilly Bone (Blake Shelton & Trace Adkins)," and "Just Fishin'," to name a few. The Grammy-nominated member of the Grand Ole Opry is a TV personality, actor, author, spokesman for the Wounded Warrior Program and the American Red Cross, for whom he raised over $1.5 million dollars as winner of NBC's All-Star Celebrity Apprentice. In recent years, Adkins has performed 10 USO Tours.

In his 2007 autobiography, A Personal Stand: Observations and Opinions from a Freethinking Roughneck, the former oil-rigger recounted his rise to fame, brushes with death, and battles with personal demons. Trace has played a tough as nails biker in The Lincoln Lawyer (starring Matthew McConaughey), and a wise oracle of a tattoo artist in the family-friendly film Moms' Night Out (starring Patricia Heaton, Sean Astin, Sarah Drew). He also developed and hosted GAC's "Great American Heroes" honoring every-day heroes.
