One of the biggest country stars in the world, Trace Adkins, has announced the schedule for his upcoming Songs & Stories Tour.  Adkins brings his highly anticipated tour to DeVos Performance Hall on Wednesday, July 18th at 7:30pm.

Tickets are $35.00, $49.50 and $69.50 and go on sale this Friday, March 9th at 10:00am.  Tickets can be purchased at the DeVos Place and Van Andel Arena box offices, ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster outlets and charge by phone: 800-745-3000.

Adkins found inspiration for the Songs & Stories Tour after he 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' twenty-year career. The taping was so fun for Trace and his guests that he began laying plans for a tour.

"The point of this tour is to get together and share meaningful songs, stories and some laughs 'around the campfire' – it's the Country music tradition."

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.

From humble beginnings as a small-town Louisiana roughneck, to a Country superstar with a twenty-year career of hits to his recent roles as outspoken author and actor, Adkins' life parallels the songs he sings. His albums showcase a range of earnest tributes and party anthems with humor and depth – the Songs & Stories Tour promises to offer the same.
