Towering baritone Trace Adkins has sold more than 11 million albums and charted more than 20 singles in his 25 years in Nashville, a remarkable run for one of country music’s most easily identifiable stars.
The Louisiana native released his 12th studio album, Something’s Going On, on BBR Music Group/Wheelhouse Records. A three-time Grammy Award nominee, Adkins has won three Academy of Country Music Awards, including the 2009 Single of the Year Award for “You’re Gonna Miss This,” and Vocal Event of the Year with Blake Shelton for “Hillbilly Bone” in 2010.
The Grand Ole Opry member is also an author and spokesman for the Wounded Warrior Project and the American Red Cross, for whom he raised more than $1.5 million dollars as winner of NBC’s “All-Star Celebrity Apprentice.”
Currently on his “Don’t Stop Tour 2019,” Adkins will return to The Paramount for a live show on Thursday, June 20 at 8 p.m.
“I’m excited to get back on the road,” said Adkins about his 39-city tour. “I am loading up the buses and bringing my band, a new set and new music to my Don’t Stop Tour 2019 and I’m looking forward to seeing the fans again this year and feeling the energy they bring to each and every show.”
In his his 2007 autobiography, “A Personal Stand: Observations and Opinions from a Freethinking Roughneck,” Adkins recounts his rise to fame, brushes with death, and battles with personal demons.
Adkins has also acted in multiple films and television shows, playing a tough-as-nails biker in “The Lincoln Lawyer,” starring Matthew McConaughey, a desperate father in “Deepwater Horizon,” starring Mark Wahlberg, and a wise oracle of a tattoo artist in the family-friendly film, “Moms’ Night Out,” starring Patricia Heaton, Sean Astin and Sarah Drew. His most recent role was that of MercyMe’s real-life manager, Brickell, in the box office smash “I Can Only Imagine.” The film was the third biggest-selling movie on its opening weekend.
