Adkins rocks the Carrington Pavilion

From the time he hit the stage growling “I got my game on,” Trace Adkins had more than 3,300 people on their feet at the Carrington Pavilion on Saturday night.

The song got people on their feet, and they stayed there — singing along, hollering and dancing in the aisles.

From the start, Adkins kept the hits coming, moving into “Swing,” “Songs about Me,” “(This Ain’t) No Thinkin’ Thing,” and “Every Light in the House,” without seeming to take a breath, then moving right on down through a crowd-pleasing menu of their favorite songs.

Stephany LeFluer, a fan who was in her seat well before the show started, said she didn’t have a favorite Adkins song — “I love them all!” — and the crowd seemed to agree with her.

The Lost Trailers warmed up the crowd with an hour-long set that included “Dixieland Delight” and “Dust on the Bottle,” but it was their owns songs — like “Dixie Boy Special” and “Holler Back” — that brought the crowd to their feet.

The concert was part of this season’s Harvest Jubilee Summer Concert Series, all held at the Carrington Pavilion.
