Trace Adkins to perform at Peoples Bank Theatre

MARIETTA -- Country music star Trace Adkins will be performing at the Peoples Bank Theatre in Marietta this August.

In a press release, officials with the Peoples Bank Theatre announced recently that the award-winning country artist will perform Aug. 25.

In his 25-year career in country music, Adkins has sold more than 11 million albums, charted more than 20 singles, earned numerous awards and Grammy nominations and garnered more than two 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 #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).

Public ticket sales begin May 31 at 10 a.m. Early ticket sales for seat sponsors, theatre members, and volunteers began May 23, and continue through the week, with access dependent upon membership level.
