Trace Adkins at Pearl River Resort
CHOCTAW — See country music great Trace Adkins at Pearl River Resort’s Silver Star Hotel & Casino at 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 4. Doors open at 7 p.m. Hear such hits as “You’re Gon- na Miss This,” “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,”
“(This Ain’t) No Thinkin’ Thing,” “Ladies Love Country Boys,” and more.
“I’ve got to the point where it’s all up to me now,” says multi-platinum country music star Adkins, some 25 years into a career filled with bold authenticity and chart-topping smashes. “I can do whatever I want ... and that’s a beautiful place to be.”
Since his debut in 1996, the larger-than-life star has sold over 11 million albums and charted 20 songs on Billboard’s all genre Hot 100, while catapulting 15 singles into the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot
Country Songs chart. He’s also racked up two billion streams and boasts a reputation for fiery live performances – not to mention his multiple Grammy nominations, awards from the ACM and CMT, and a willingness to think outside the box.
Now, with 25 all-new tracks to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his Dreamin’ Out Loud debut, Adkins brings it all together. Steeped in the cul- tural melting-pot of his Louisiana upbringing, The Way I Wanna Go finds him leaning in to a lone-wolf spirit, and continuing down the road
In truth, he’s been doing that all along, fus-
ing a booming baritone and commanding stage
presence with sounds from all across the Coun-
try spectrum – sometimes with a mischievous
wink. But on his 13th studio album, The Way I Wanna Go, Adkins takes the idea to heart.
