Trace Adkins
- Music Artist
- Actor
- Producer
Trace Adkins' trademark baritone has powered countless hits to the top
of the charts and turned albums into Platinum plaques, selling over 10
million albums, cumulatively. The Grammy-nominated member of the Grand
Ole Opry is a television personality, actor, author, spokesman for the
Wounded Warrior Program, the American Red Cross and has performed seven
USO Tours.
Adkins was born in Louisiana, to Peggy (Carraway) and Aaron Doyle
Adkins, a mill worker. In his 2007 autobiography, A Personal Stand:
Observations and Opinions from a Freethinking Roughneck, the 6'6"
oil-rigger recounted his rise to fame, brushes with death, and battles
with personal demons. He also explains just how the world's biggest
alpha-male handles fatherhood with five daughters. In 2008, Trace's
integrity and wry humor served him well as a finalist on NBC's The
Celebrity Apprentice and prepared him for his return - on behalf of the
American Red Cross - to NBC's All-Star Celebrity Apprentice (Sunday
nights, 9PM EST/PT).
Trace has played a tough as nails biker in The Lincoln Lawyer (starring
Matthew McConaughey), he developed and hosted GAC's "Great American
Heroes" series to pay tribute to every-day Americans doing great things
and he has hosted the American Country Awards on FOX for three
consecutive years.
In 2011, Trace last album, Proud To Be Here debuted atop the Billboard
Country Chart powered by the Top Ten hit, "Just Fishin'," and his
eleventh studio album, Love Will... is planned for release in the
Spring of 2013 on Show Dog-Universal Music.
