VAN WERT — Country icon and film sensation Trace Adkins will perform his 25th anniversary tour, “The Way I Wanna Go” beginning at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center, 10700 state Route 118 S., Van Wert.
In his 25-year career in country music, Adkins has sold more than 11 million albums, charted over 20 singles, earned numerous awards and Grammy nominations and garnered over 2 billion streams. A Grand Ole Opry member for nearly two decades, the Louisiana native is known for dynamic baritone and fiery, always-memorable live performances and has expanded his country career to include film and TV acting.
Adkins broke out in 1996 with the debut album, “Dreamin’ Out Loud,” cracking the Top 5 of “Billboard’s Hot Country Songs” chart with “Every Light In the House Is On” and following with the No. 1 smash, “This Ain’t (No Thinkin’ Thing).”
Since then, Adkins has pioneered a mix of classic country-minded traditionalism and adventurous, good-natured showmanship, breaking open new avenues in modern country through fun-filled hits like “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk” and “Hillbilly Bone” with Blake Shelton.
Adkins will celebrate the silver anniversary of his album debut with “The Way I Wanna Go,” doing exactly what he always has – mixing pure-country reverence with standout collaborations featuring Blake Shelton, Melissa Etheridge, Snoop Dogg, Stevie Wonder on harmonica and more. Adkins’ newest single, “Where The Country Girls At” (featuring Luke Bryan and Pitbull) is now available.
