Ten years ago, a group of women heard a voice
that sounded like no other come over the airwaves. This voice
was so deep and sounded like velvet and once the song was
finished each of them ran to call their local radio station to
find out the name of the artist who sang it. For one of them it
was “There’s A Girl In Texas.” After hearing that voice the
lives of this group of ladies were changed forever.
One of these ladies fell in love with the song
because she knew that HAD to be singing about her since she
lived in Texas. So, she MUST be the “girl in Texas”. One night
she happened to be watching a show on TNN and once again she
heard that voice. Only this time she was able to see him sing
her song. There on her TV was this 6’7 tall hunk of a man
singing to her. He wasn’t just standing at the microphone
singing. Oh no. He was singing with his whole body. After
watching him she HAD to find out more about this new artist
Trace Adkins, so she made it her mission to find out as much as
she could about him. She got on her computer and headed out into
cyberspace. She found a place on America On Line where you could
meet with others to talk about an artist. She was the first
person to post a message about Trace Adkins and the first
“Trace’s Place” was founded. From there on the fun began and it
is still going strong!!
Now that there was an official
meeting place for anyone interested
in this new singer, people (well..mostly
ladies) were fighting to get in the
doors. They loved talking about
Trace. They were going crazy over
his music..and..well.. maybe a little
bit over the fact that he was 6’7”
and had a voice that would send
goose bumps (or t Trace bumps as we
like to call them) from your head to
your toes!! When his first
video came out well let’s just say
we had lots more to talk about!
After we had been
together for a while we decided we
needed a name for their group.
Trace’s Adkinettes were born!! Many
people have come through our doors and
over the years we have become a big
family. Most of us have met each other
at concerts or at fan fair in Nashville
We have enjoyed following
Trace and watching his career grow from an opening act to finally
getting his own big headline
tour.. We also have had the pleasure
of meeting Trace many times over the
years and he knows all about the
Adkinette’s and loves to catch up
with us when we see him.
One of the things
that we have enjoyed over the 10
years we have been together is our
pocket adventures. We hope you will
take a few minutes and check these
out. They are fun adventures that we
have taken many times over the
years. Trace loves to get a hold of
them and gets a kick out of reading
all the fun his Adkinettes have been
having.
Now that you have
found our website. We hope you will enjoy meeting
us and check out the
other areas on the site. This
website is a tribute to a man who
has given each of so much. Who’s
music has brought us together and
given us a precious gift of
friendship!
