  • Bio

    Gary Alan Adkins was raised in a military family with three sisters and was born in LaRochell, France in 1954. The family moved consistently throughout the country but were originally from Georgia. In 1969 ( the day before Easter) his family suffered a tragic automobile accident which left his mother with a permanent brain injury and his two youngest sisters deceased. Gary attended Columbus High, Hardaway High, Jordan High, and Graduated from Harris County High School in 1973. In 1974 he was ordained an Elder in The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. Throughout the years he tried his hand at many different fields of work. Metal Work, Weaver In the mill, Night Porter at the Holiday Inn etc. In 1976 he graduated from Columbus Georgia Technical college in Auto repair & Auto Collision Repair and received the Perfect Circle award from the Dana Corporation. While in the United States Army he was a heavy equipment mechanic ( 62B10 ). He was a Columbus, Georgia Firefighter and 911 Dispatcher for 16 years . His Major in College was History and he received an award for Social Science. He is a professional musician , singer songwriter and has performed world wide. Gary is married to the former Shirley Jewell Lowthorp and they have two grown children. Gary and Shirley now reside in Mountain Hill , Georgia across the street from Chet Atkins boyhood home. Gary is a Disabled American Veteran and Retired Firefighter and still pursues his passionate love of music. On a lighter note, he feels fortunate to have spent ten weekends in the original Columbus, Georgia Stockade made famous by the 1927 song " The Columbus Stockade Blues ". The song was written and performed by the singing and guitar- picking duo of Thomas P. (Tom) Darby of Columbus and Johnny J. (Jimmie) Tarlton of Phenix City, Alabama. The stockade is still in operation.
