On the 26th, multi-platinum country star Trace Adkins, will headline The Cowboy Bar’s Fifth Annual Million Dollar Music Fest in the heart of downtown Jackson Hole on The Wyoming Whiskey Stage on Town Square. In his 28-year career, the larger-than-life Adkins has sold more than 11 million albums, charted over 20 singles, earned numerous awards and GRAMMY nominations, and garnered over two billion global streams. A Grand Ole Opry member for two decades, the Louisiana native is known for fusing a booming baritone and commanding stage presence with sounds from all across the country spectrum.
In direct support of Adkins, vocal powerhouse and Grand Ole Opry member, Lauren Alaina will make her triumphant return to Jackson after headlining the sold-out 2nd Annual Cowgirls at The Cowboy last Fall. Kicking off this year’s Million Dollar Music Fest is break-out talent Walker Montgomery.
