Trace Adkins Coming to the NY State Fair

Get ready to hear one of the most recognizable voices in country music echo across the Fairgrounds.

Trace Adkins Is Headed to the Great New York State Fair

Country star Trace Adkins is bringing his deep, unmistakable baritone to Suburban Park at the New York State Fair.

He’ll take the stage Saturday night, September 5, at 8 PM, and yes — this is one you’ll want to circle on the calendar.

Three Decades of Hits (And Stories We All Relate To)

Trace Adkins has been a country music staple for more than 30 years, and chances are you know the words to more than a few of his songs. From heartfelt classics like “You’re Gonna Miss This” to fun, sing-it-at-the-top-of-your-lungs favorites like “Ladies Love Country Boys” and “(This Ain’t) No Thinkin’ Thing,” his music has soundtracked a lot of real-life moments.

And of course, there’s “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk” — the crossover hit that somehow manages to get everyone smiling the second it comes on.
