Born January 13, 1962, in a small town in Louisiana, Adkins learned to play the guitar at an early age but pursued a career working on oil rigs. While offshore, he lost his finger in an industrial accident. After his injury, Adkins began playing music as a member of The New Commitments band. He later moved to Nashville and signed with Capitol Records. His CD debut was 1996’s Dreamin’ Out Loud, which included a number of hits like “(This Ain’t) No Thinkin’ Thing” and “Every Light in the House” which gained him national fame.
Adkins is a member of the Grand Ole Opry and the board of directors of the Country Music Association. He has been a frequent guest on TV talkfests and shows including “King of the Hill” and “Yes, Dear,” and spent time as a national spokesman for KFC. Both his Comin On Strong CD and Trace Adkins Video Hits have recently been certified platinum. His Greatest Hits Collection, Volume I, entered the charts at #1 and is on the verge of reaching platinum.
Adkins’ most recent release “Songs About Me,” is filled with the kind of grit and passion for which he has always been known, and the title track is the fastest-moving single of his career. As the hits have come, Adkins has remained one of the country’s most down-to-earth standard-bearers, and in the past few years fans and critics have given him his due.
