Hot Schatz and Adkins End Business Relationship
Schatzi Hageman, President and founder of Hot Schatz PR, has announced that her long-term professional relationship with Trace Adkins will be ending at the end of the year. Hageman and Adkins have worked together since 1998.
“Changes like these are difficult, but they can be very invigorating and energizing, as well,” Hageman continues. “I’m really looking forward to new collaborations that are as fruitful as what Trace and I have had.”
Beginning January 2011, all press inquiries for Adkins should be directed to Natalie Moore, Manager of Artist Development & Creative Services at Show Dog-Universal Music (Natalie.Moore@sdumusic.com).

WOW…Trace is really getting a big tude huh? He forgets who got him where he is today. Sure hope he does not turn on his fans
Where do you get the idea that Trace is getting a “big tude?” It’s a business decision. He’s with Show Dog Universal now, so using the label’s PR arm may be the best thing for him. As for turning on his fans…don’t be ridiculous. Have you met Trace? Have you seen him interact with his fans? Trace is great with the fans and that’s not going to change.
Agree with you Connie. Trace is always great with his fans. That will not change. He knows the fans love him. This is a good business decision, makes sense.
I’ve met Trace, and he does have a big attitude. Funny things is, I met him backstage at the Opry – I’m not even a fan – his rudeness just made him look bad and me shake my head. How do people get to the point where they forget that it’s the little people who have put them where they are?
Some do forget the “little people” & Trace has always been humble until the last year or so. I am not sure I enjoy his connection w/Toby.
Yep I have met Trace many times, and have been to MANY MANY of his shows but if you look at the history of Toby’s label you will see he does not do a good job of promoting too much but himself. Trace better stay on top of things. If the release of Brown Chicken Brown Cow is any indication then he needs help. Sorry gang I love Trace as well but I am NOT ALONE when I say this but he has changed since starting up with Toby and that makes me sad. If you want to know the REAL truth then you should ask his wife, she actually wears the pants in that family. I will always wish Trace the best but just leery on some of his actions lately. No disrespect to anyone, I just call ’em like I see ’em
