Episode 36: Trace Adkins - From Country music to becoming an actor

Country music legend Trace Adkins joins Andrew Erwin on The Storytellers Podcast for a candid conversation about music, movies, and the moments that shape a life. With his unmistakable baritone voice and decades of hits, Trace shares the story behind his roots in country music, how he built a career in Nashville, and how he almost gave up on music. But the conversation goes far beyond the stage. Trace also talks about stepping into acting (including his role in Andrew Erwin’s comedy Mom’s Night Out) and the hilarious moment he realized after filming right before release that it was actually a faith-based film. From there, he opens up about storytelling on screen, what draws him to certain roles, and his involvement with I Can Only Imagine 2. For all the film buffs and Western fans, Trace shares his Top 5 favorite Western movies of all time, breaking down his favorite shoot-em-up movies.
