Trace Adkins recently announced the Songs and Stories Tour, which will visit many of America’s most beautiful theaters this spring. These intimate evenings of powerful performances will incorporate stories, both humorous and meaningful, that pay homage to Adkins’ working-man roots and rich musical heritage.

Adkins makes a special stop at Chester Fritz Auditorium Saturday, March 17, 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 3, 10 a.m. Reserved seating costs $35, $45 and $59.50. Purchase at the CFA Box Office, all Ticketmaster outlets, via phone at 800-745-3000 or online at www.ticketmaster.com/venue/49273

Inspiration for the tour came as Trace released his 10th studio album, Proud To Be Here, last summer with a CMT Invitation Only special. The special featured new hits “Just Fishin’” and “Million Dollar View,” a Q&A session and the most-loved songs from Adkins’ 20-year career. The taping was so fun for Trace and his guests that he began laying plans for a tour.

Fans can share their own stories, questions and the songs that have inspired or shaped their lives on the Songs & Stories page at www.traceadkins.com.
