COUNTRY GIANT
TRACE ADKINS Where does Trace Adkins hang his hat? He stands 6 feet, 6 inches tall (6´9˝ with the hat), so we let him set that hat anywhere he damn well pleases! We digress. Since 1995, Adkins has been singing the kinds of no-nonsense tunes, in a bass-baritone, that country fans have gobbled up like biscuits at a Cracker Barrel meditation retreat. The now-55-year-old Adkins has sold 10 million records and been a repeat offender at the top of the Billboard charts. 8 p.m. Thursday, April 27, Thrasher-Horne Center for the Arts, Orange Park, $43-$213, thcenter.org.
