Fans Can Earn Free Tickets by Purchasing Miller Lite or MGD at Fry’s Food & Drug Stores
(PHOENIX) — The Arizona Diamondbacks
announced today that they are teaming up with Miller Brewing, Fry’s Food
& Drug Stores and KNIX Radio to host a concert featuring country
music recording artist and “The Celebrity Apprentice” runner-up Trace
Adkins on May 17 at Chase Field. The post-game concert will take place
on the field following the 5:10 p.m. game against the Detroit Tigers.
The concert is free with a ticket to that night’s game.
Ten years into his recording career as a country
chartbuster, with dozens of hits under his belt and nine top-selling
albums, Adkins has entered into elite territory. The man known for his
imposing physical stature, world-class baritone and bedrock authenticity
has clearly earned his place among the most identifiable and important
artists of his generation. Adkins has built a solid career and a strong
fan base by recording songs that possess insightful lyrics and cover a
wide range of interests – many from his own life experiences.
Over the past decade, Adkins has racked up a long string of
hits including “Every Light in the House is On,” “(This Ain’t) No
Thinkin’ Thing.” “I Left Something Turned On at Home,” “Hot Mama,” “I’m
Tryin’,” “Rough & Ready,” “Arlington,” “Songs About Me,” “Honky Tonk
Badonkadonk,” “Ladies Love Country Boys,” “I Wanna Feel Something” and
“I Got My Game On.” Adkins has also sold millions of records, won dozens
of industry awards and became a member of the prestigious Grande Ole
Opry.
His current album, American Man, Greatest Hits Volume II,
features many of his recent hits and new singles, such as “You’re Gonna
Miss This,” which hit No. 1 on the country charts this week. The
double-platinum Songs About Me release in 2005 featured the monster hit
“Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.” The song ruled the country charts, with
digital downloads surpassing 800,000 and more than 500,000 ringtone
purchases – an impressive feat in a market primarily dominated by
R&B and hip-hop. His 2006 release of Dangerous Man scored the
biggest first-week sales in his career and became his third CD to make
its entry at the top of the charts.
Adkins reached another level of celebrity when he appeared
on NBC’s primetime hit “The Celebrity Apprentice” with Donald Trump over
the last five months. He competed against other celebrities on the
weekly show to raise money for the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network
(FAAN). After his six-year-old daughter had a life-threatening reaction
to peanut butter when she was just 18-months old, Adkins hopes that
research could lead to a better understanding of food allergies and
perhaps one day find a cure.
