NASHVILLE, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- Country music star Trace Adkins says he plans to bring his "Songs & Stories" concert tour to theaters around the United States this spring.

The series of stage shows is to kick off March 8 in Des Moines, Iowa, and wrap up May 17 in Atlanta. So far, 21 shows have been scheduled, but more dates are expected to be added.

"I've had many narrow escapes and blessings in my life," Adkins said in a statement Tuesday. "The right song at the right time has been my saving grace and that's something I have in common with the audience. Sharing meaningful songs, stories and some laughs 'around the campfire' is the country music tradition and I'm looking forward to it."

Adkins released his 10th studio album, "Proud to Be Here," last summer.
