Trace's Nashville New Year's Concert Cancelled

According to CMT News in Brief Trace has cancelled his New Years Eve concerts in both Nashville, TN and Pikeville, KY.

CMT says, "He has rescheduled six tour dates he had to cancel earlier this year after being sidelined by an intestinal flu, but the nation's economic crisis has caused a concert promoter to cancel the singer's New Year's Eve show with Lynyrd Skynyrd in Nashville. Adkins had been scheduled to open for Lynyrd Skynyrd at a concert in Pikeville, Ky., before flying back to Nashville to headline the show at the Sommet Center. Concurrently, Lynyrd Skynyrd was to have opened the Nashville show for Adkins and then flown to Kentucky to headline the Pikeville concert. With the cancellation of the Nashville show, Adkins opted out of the Kentucky concert to spend time with his family. However, the Kentucky show is still scheduled, with 38 Special replacing Adkins on the bill. Steve Moore of MEG/AEG Live said, "For the past 12 years, we've been fortunate to have the biggest names in music celebrate New Year's Eve in Nashville, but there is no denying that our core audience has been financially challenged by the hard realities of a flattened economy." Adkins' rescheduled dates begin Feb. 12 in Huntington, W.Va., followed by stops in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Missouri and Texas through the end of February."

I have the perfect alternative for those of you who had plans of attending this show...

The Del McCoury Band will be hosting a New Year's Eve Bash at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, also featuring the Emmitt-Nershi Band and the Infamous Strindusters!
