Country music singer, songwriter, actor and winner of “Celebrity Apprentice” Trace Adkins returns to the Morris Performing Arts Center on Friday, Nov. 28, at 8 p.m. with “The Christmas Show” featuring Celtic songs and traditional holiday favorites from his Christmas album, “The King’s Gift.” The show combines fireside story-telling with performances of classic carols. Adkins’ historical and humorous narration, loving delivery of time-honored Christmas classics and lush instrumentation make for a truly special holiday event.

Born in Sarepta, Lousiana, Trace played college football and worked as an oil rigger before launching his career as a singer, songwriter and actor who has been nominated for Grammy Awards and inducted into The Grand Ol’ Opry.
