Former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam stepped off the mound for the last time in 2023, having already kicked off a second career in country music. The Georgia native retired as the Cardinals’ third-winningest pitcher in franchise history, making his singer/songwriter debut in center field at Busch Stadium.
A year later, he made his Grand Ole Opry debut.
Between commentating Major League Baseball for FOX Sports and the MLB Network, Wainwright’s late-blooming career as a rising country artist has been shepherded by Grammy-winning writer/producer Gary Baker. He’s been out on the road touring his freshman 2024 album, Hey Y'all, and stops for a night in the Twin Cities this fall.
Adam Wainwright Live in Concert takes place at 7 p.m. Oct. 16 at the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts, 600 N. East St., Bloomington.
Presales start Thursday, July 31. Tickets go on sale Friday, Aug. 1, at 309-434-2777 and artsblooming.org.
