Accompanied by an official lyric video, “American Made” offers a heart-stirring tribute to the generations of Americans who helped build the country we call home. Go here to listen to “American Made” now, and check out the official lyric video here.

Providing the perfect soundtrack to a historic Fourth of July weekend, “American Made” arrives as the Country icon gets set to deliver his debut performance of the song during A CAPITOL FOURTH: 250th WEEKEND CELEBRATION. The nationally televised event will take place on July 3 on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol building, with Adkins joining an all-star lineup with the National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of top pops conductor Jack Everly. The 46-year holiday tradition will culminate in the largest fireworks display ever presented over George Washington’s Mount Vernon.

A CAPITOL FOURTH premieres live Friday, July 3, 2026 from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. E.T. on public television stations nationwide (check local listings), and is seen by our service members around the world on American Forces Network. The concert will also be streaming on YouTube and https://www.pbs.org/a-capitol-fourth/ and available as Video on Demand for a limited time only, July 3 to July 17, 2026. Go here for more info.

Written by Adkins, Krista Marie, and Johnny Cummings, “American Made” brings Adkins’ trademark baritone to an impassioned piece of storytelling, paying homage to the countless laborers, farmers, and veterans whose tireless work made the American dream possible. With its potent backdrop of blazing guitar work, battlefield snare rolls, and stately piano lines, the deeply felt track centers on a reverent outpouring of gratitude for the people who formed the backbone of America. Produced by Mickey Jack Cones and made with premier session players like keyboardist Jim “Moose” Brown and guitarist Jeff King, “American Made” ultimately serves as a rousing call to honor the sacrifices of our forebears by carrying their legacy forward.

With its heartfelt message of unshakable perseverance, “American Made” is a fitting reflection of the towering career Adkins launched with Dreamin’ Out Loud. Soon after its June 1996 release, the path-forging LP shot to No. 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart while cracking the Top 10 on Top Country Albums. Featuring watershed hits like his No. 1 smash “(This Ain’t) No Thinkin’ Thing” and “Every Light In The House” (a Top 5 entry on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs), Dreamin’ Out Loud swiftly cemented Adkins’ status as one of Country music’s most formidable voices.

Back in January, Adkins kicked off the Trace Adkins 30th Anniversary Tour — a major U.S. headline trek quickly extended due to fast-selling dates and massive demand from fans. With highlights so far including a two-night stand at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium in May, the full-throttle tour continues next month at the iconic Cheyenne Frontier Days in Cheyenne, WY, on July 22. Before wrapping up on September 19 at Hollywood Casino At Charles Town Races in Charles Town, WV, Adkins will also bring his commanding live show to the New York State Fair in Syracuse, NY (September 5), Woodstock Fair in Woodstock, CT (September 6), and Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson, KS (September 11), and more.

ABOUT TRACE ADKINS:
Over the course of his three-decade reign in Country music, MULTI-PLATINUM hitmaker Trace Adkins has emerged as a full-fledged icon whose reach spans far beyond the genre’s borders. A multi-award-winning singer and actor who’s scored 40 hit singles on Country radio and sold 12 MILLION albums to date, the Louisiana native is celebrating the 30th anniversary of his trailblazing full-length debut Dreamin’ Out Loud — a 1996 LP that delivered his No. 1 “(This Ain’t) No Thinkin’ Thing” and “Every Light In The House” (a Top 5 entry on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart). Currently out on the Trace Adkins 30th Anniversary Tour (a U.S. headline run which launched in January), the superstar entertainer recently followed his featured spot on Blake Shelton’s Friends & Heroes Tour with his own What Color’s Your Wild Tour (a hot-ticket headline trek named for his hard-driving anthem released in early 2025). For the latest entry in an admired filmography including acclaimed movies like Deepwater Horizon and a recurring role on the blockbuster sitcom King of the Hill, Adkins reprised his role as MercyMe manager Scott Brickell in I Can Only Imagine 2 after appearing as Big Buck in Day of Reckoning (a 2025 action film that featured his rousing revenge ballad “That Someday” in its closing credits). Also a devoted philanthropist with a deep-rooted passion for giving back to the military community, he’s helped raise millions of dollars to support injured post-9/11 veterans as part of his work with the Wounded Warrior Project and received a multitude of honors for his humanitarian work, including the National Defense Industrial Association’s Dwight D. Eisenhower Award. A true American legend whose powerhouse catalog includes 14 studio albums, Adkins continues to embody the fiery spirit of traditional Country while moving the genre forward with his ever-evolving sound.
