Trace Adkins and John Rich for Blackburn

WASHINGTON -- Country singer Trace Adkins, whose first No. 1 single was the memorable "(This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing," will appear at a Marsha Blackburn re-election event in August, her campaign announced earlier today.

Adkins last week won the "Vocal Event of the Year" with Blake Shelton at the Academy of Country Music awards ceremony in Las Vegas. He also appears on NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" with Donald Trump, according to his web site.

The Aug. 24 event follows a private concert the day before with John Rich and Friends. The Blackburn campaign E-Newsletter said details will follow.
