No Word On Trace's 2009 Concert Schedule - I Vote for a Tour With Shania

Trace hasn't announced a new tour to support his newest album "X", but he is scheduled for tour dates in February which are re-scheduled concerts from late 2008. There are also casino appearances being scheduled in 2009. I am not sure what we can conclude from that, except that seeing Trace in concert the first part of 2009 is not going to be easy.

If I was Trace's manager I would be pursuing a concert tour with Shania Twain in 2009. The pair appeal to approximately the same age audience and while Trace would attract a venue full of females, Shania would fill the rest with their counterparts (husbands, boyfriends). They could end the first set with an award winning duo performance of "Let's Do That Again". The tour would definately be a hit as long as they didn't go for the mega-sport stadium venues. Of course, I am not Trace's tour manager, so let's see how he does in my place.

GAC says... Trace Adkins Looks to De-Stress
Dec. 24, 2008 — Between the shopping, planning and visits with sometimes-snarky (I don't believe for a second that Trace used the word "snarky") relatives, the end of the year can be a huge stress machine. Nevertheless, Trace Adkins paints the holidays with a happy face and insists there’s plenty to be grateful for around Christmas and New Year’s.

"I think of family, I think of everybody being together and doing that whole thing," he told the national radio show GAC Nights: Live From Nashville. "And I think of stress, and why is that? Why has it gotten that way these days? It shouldn't be. I think that the holidays should be so relaxed and so comfortable and everybody being together and family being together and everything. But it's just turned into such a stressful event. That's wrong, but I still love it."
