Trace Adkins to perform at Clay Co. Fair

The Clay County Fair last week announced Trace Adkins with special guest Eli Alger and the Faster Horses will perform Sunday, Sept. 8 as part of the SRG Concert Series.

Adkins has sold over 11 million albums, charted over 20 singles, earned numerous awards and Grammy nominations, and garnered over two billon 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.

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 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).

Eli Alger and the Faster Horses: Alger is a born and raised Iowan who now calls Nashville home. In September 2021, he released his debut single "Rednexico" to country radio where it has since amassed over 180,000 streams and is being played on independent radio around the country.

Tickets went on sale last week.
