Trace Adkins helps a little girl learn to use a fire hose while visiting with the organizers of the Burn Foundation in Bakersfield, CA.
Country music superstar Trace Adkins knows a thing or two about heroes, and this fall he’s bringing their stories to life in the new series Great American Heroes on GAC. Great American Heroes follows Adkins on his nationwide Songs & Stories tour as he takes time away from the stage to pay tribute to ordinary people doing extraordinary things in their local communities. Great American Heroes premieres Wednesday, Aug. 22 at 8 p.m. ET. Episodes will re-air on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.
In each episode, Adkins visits with three hometown heroes to learn about and acknowledge their efforts, and surprise them with something special to help them continue their good work. As a bonus, Adkins hosts the local heroes as special guests at his concert in their hometown.
Overcoming his own life-changing experiences, Adkins has emerged a tireless supporter of U.S. troops and many other worthy causes. It was his desire to spotlight the good works of others that led him to GAC with his concept for the new series.
