Calling all country music enthusiasts! Summer concert season is finally almost in full swing and there are some awesome shows coming to Pier 6. To kick off July we have Trace Adkins rocking the docks on the 1st. Trace is a main staple in the contemporary country music scene and we can’t wait to welcome him to Baltimore.. Who’s with us?! Trace Adkins can do it all – aside from being a multi-platinum singer and performer he has also been a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice and even voiced a character on King of the Hill. Check out his most recent video for “Just Fishin” which features his youngest daughter Trinity:

Along with all his musical accomplishments, Trace is an all-around great guy. As many of you probably heard, in an unfortunate turn of events, the Adkins family home in Tennessee burned down last week. Instead of dwelling on this incident Trace is keeping all of his commitments as scheduled and is continuing his tour. He is urging his fans who want to help him and his family to instead donate directly to the Red Cross. In true gentlemanly form Trace released a statement saying, “I have been blessed. My kids are ok, my wife is ok. I have my guitar and my songs. Everything else can be replaced. Unfortunately, there are families out there who need help if they’re to rebuild after these recent storms. The American Red Cross was one of the first on the scene to help my family and, through their work, others will receive the assistance they need to get back on their feet.” We commend Trace for handling this situation in all the right ways and his commitment to helping others. Check out the full extent of the fire in the gallery posted on Trace Adkins website.
Now back to the fun stuff! We want some feedback from you guys and of course the winner will be rewarded. Besides Trace, who is your favorite country artist and why do they hold that top position? We’ll review the answers and the best one will recieve a pair of VIP tickets to see Trace Adkins at Pier Six Pavilion on July 1!

My favorite artist aside from Trace is definatley Johnny Cash. Like Trace he has that deep raspy soulful voice. They both seem to have that mysterious dark side all the while keeping it real with their wholesome spirit. Johnny obviously took some time to come around to the wholesome part of his life but he did never the less. You can’t train talent like theirs it’s part of them, they were born with raw talent a rare and precious gem of it.

The country music star who holds the top place, well its tough but it would have to Ms Reba McEntire. I am 50 now and I know I have been listening to her for atleast 20yrs. If you have a heartache Reba got a song to make you feel better. Her songs are so down to earth as the woman that she is, and i do believe she gets prettier with age. I saw her atleast 10yrs ago, back when there was a Brooks and Dunn, they were touring together and she rocked the house. What can I say except just saying her name will put a smile on your face. Reba is Country Music.
