Trace Adkins to perform at Rust Belt

Country star Trace Adkins will play The Rust Belt in East Moline on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024, at 8 p.m. with special guest Bryan White.

In his 25-year career in country music, Adkins has sold over 11 million albums, charted over 20 singles, earned numerous awards and Grammy nominations, and garnered over two billion streams, according to a Tuesday tour release.

A Grand Ole Opry member for nearly two decades, the 62-year-old 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, the release says.

He 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).

Adkins’ newest video “Love Walks Through the Rain” (featuring Melissa Etheridge) is available everywhere now.

Bryan White is a CMA, ACM, and Grammy award-winning country music artist, producer, and songwriter. Throughout his prolific recording career, he’s charted 21 singles, of which 6 were number 1. His hits include “So Much for Pretending,” “Sittin’ On Go,” “I’m Not Supposed to Love You Anymore,” “Rebecca Lynn,” “Someone Else’s Star” and “From This Moment On” which he recorded with Shania Twain for her “Come On Over” album.
