Trace Adkins (born Tracy Darrell Adkins, January 13, 1962) is an American country singer and actor best known for his deep bass‑baritone voice and larger‑than‑life presence. Raised in Sarepta, Louisiana, Adkins worked blue‑collar jobs on oil rigs before pursuing music full‑time, a background that strongly shaped his grit‑driven image and songwriting.
He broke through in 1996 with his debut album Dreamin’ Out Loud, launching a career that has produced more than 20 Billboard country hits and multiple platinum certification albums.
Beyond music, Adkins has built a parallel career in film and television. He is also known for strong military and veterans’ advocacy, performing multiple USO tours and supporting organizations such as the Wounded Warrior Project. Across nearly three decades, he has sold over 10 million albums and remains one of country music’s most recognizable voices.
In 2026, Trace Adkins hits the road with his 30th Anniversary Tour , celebrating three decades since the release of Dreamin’ Out Loud (1996). The tour runs from January through September 2026, spanning theaters, casinos, amphitheaters, and major fairs across the United States.
