Country music star, Trace Adkins, is ready for his next journey in his career with the announcement of a new record-label home and new music.
The "You're Gonna Miss This Singer," who has sold 11 million albums throughout his career, has signed with Verge Records. Adkins will work closely with label executive and producer, Mickey Jack Cones, who he's worked with previously on several records.
In addition to announcing his record deal, Adkins also shared that new music is on the way. His new single titled "Better Off," written by Hillary Lindsey, Corey Crowder and Liz Rose, will be released on March 20.
“Trace is a country music icon. We are beyond elated to be teaming up with him on this next chapter of his career," Cones said in a statement. "I’ve had the privilege of working on all but two of Trace’s records since 2005, so I don’t take this partnership lightly. We have something to prove, and we’re going to prove it!”
“I am excited about my merge with Verge," Adkins adds. "My desire to create and release new music is as strong now as when I first started. Mickey Jack and I have collaborated on several projects, and I look forward to several more.”
Currently Adkins is out on the road in support of Blake Shelton's 2020 "Friends & Heroes Tour" running through March 21 in Detroit. A few weeks later, he'll start his headlining "The Way I Wanna Go Tour." The trek will kick off on April 15 in Lancaster, Pa. with shows running through the fall.
