Trace Adkins Celebrates Emmy Award For ‘Mayfield – Town Of Heroes’ Documentary

Trace Adkins returned to Mayfield, Kentucky on Tuesday (Oct. 29) for the premiere of Mayfield – Town of Heroes, a documentary highlighting the community’s resilience following the devastating 2021 tornado. Narrated by Adkins, the film details the resilience of residents who faced the disaster and showcases their ongoing recovery efforts. The documentary, premiering at Princess Theaters, was honored with an Emmy Award for Outstanding Weather Short Form Content.

The event included two additional screenings and a Q&A session with Adkins, along with producers Greg Baker and Jason Fridenstine and executive producer Andrew Rozario. Mayor Kathy Stewart O’Nan also presented the documentary creators with an official proclamation from the governor, making them Kentucky Colonels, the highest title of honor state.

Adkins’ history with the town of Mayfield goes back to his “Somewhere In America: A Concert For Mayfield” event in June of 2023. Presented by KIOTI Tractor, the show took place at Mayfield High School’s CFSB War Memorial Stadium which was ground zero for the tornado that ripped across western Kentucky, taking 50 lives and displacing thousands. The artist even provided the soundtrack to the city, filming the “Somewhere In America” music video on site and prompting the making of the documentary.

“When something like this happens, we put our differences aside, and we love each other,” says Adkins.

Adkins is currently on his “Somewhere In America Tour” through the end of the year.
