Trace Adkins celebrated Independence Day by performing a patriotic classic, as part of the star-studded PBS special,  2020 A Capitol Fourth. The Louisiana native performed “America (My Country, ‘Tis of Thee)” for the TV special, which also included performances by Lauren Alaina, Brantley Gilbert, John Fogerty, Patti LaBelle, John Stamos and more.

“This next song is dedicated to this nation that we all love so very deeply,” Trace said before launching into his performance, which was accompanied by a stunning fireworks display.

Trace just dropped a new song and video, “Mind on Fishin,'” which he said is about choosing fishing over church — something Trace personally understands.

“As a man who still likes to fish about every evening, ‘Mind On Fishin’ is very relatable to me,” Trace told One Country. “The song, co-written by one of my favorite writers, Wynn Varble, along with Aaron Raitiere, humorously tells the story of a struggle we have all faced a time or two.”

The song marks Trace’s first release on Verge Records. His last album, Something’s Going On, was released in 2017 on Wheelhouse Records.

“‘Mind On Fishin’ was one of the first tracks Trace and his team played me after Trace signed with Verge,” Mickey Jack Cones, President and COO of Verge said in a statement. “I’ve loved it since the first listen. It’s an honest, feel-good, uptempo, positive song –– which are usually the ingredients of a potential hit. Not to mention, the song is fitting for the times since we’re unable to congregate in church due to social distancing.”

2020 A Capitol Fourth was aired on the American Forces Network to troops all over the world. The show can be viewed in its entirety here.
