Last Moment! Today 2023, Music Is In Mourning | Farewell To Music Legend Trace Adkins…

Adkins continued to dream of becoming a musician, performing at local venues whenever possible and joining a band call Bayou. That group eventually won a regional talent contest and competed in the national finals in Nashville, Tennessee. After this success, Adkins spent four years touring with Bayou in cities in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Mississippi, but soon grew disillusioned with the music business and returned to the drilling rigs. Nonetheless, he asked doctors to set an inju red pinky finger–that had to be sewn back on following an industrial accident–in a permanent bend so he could still play the guitar.
