About Trace Adkins
With 12 MILLION albums sold to date, the superstar entertainer recently followed his featured spot on Blake Shelton’s Friends & Heroes Tour with his own What Color’s Your Wild Tour (a hot-ticket headline run named for his hard-driving anthem released in early 2025) and will be embarking on his 30th Anniversary headline run in 2026. For the latest entry in a celebrated filmography including acclaimed movies like Deepwater Horizon and a recurring role on the blockbuster sitcom King of the Hill, Adkins is next reprising his role as MercyMe manager Scott Brickell in I Can Only Imagine 2 (due out February 2026) after appearing as Big Buck in Day of Reckoning (a 2025 action film that featured his rousing revenge ballad “That Someday” in its closing credits). Also a devoted philanthropist with a deep-rooted passion for giving back to the military community, he’s helped raise millions of dollars to support injured post-9/11 veterans as part of his work with the Wounded Warrior Project and received a multitude of honors for his humanitarian work, including the National Defense Industrial Association’s Dwight D. Eisenhower Award. A true American legend whose powerhouse catalog includes 14 studio albums, Adkins continues to embody the fiery spirit of traditional Country while moving the genre forward with his ever-evolving sound.
