Trace Adkins Releases Exclusive Video in Conjunction with Shriners’ Hospitals

For country hitmaker and Grand Ole Opry member Trace Adkins, the holidays are more than just presents under the tree. Known for his humanitarian efforts through Wounded Warrior Project and American Red Cross, Adkins recently partnered with Shriners Hospitals for Children for a special holiday campaign featuring a new rendition of “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” featuring background vocals and an appearance by Exile, available exclusively online via music video this holiday season.

“It is my distinct honor to be part of Shriner’s Hospital for Children’s holiday campaign,” reflects Adkins. “Children are truly the purest and most innocent among us and don’t deserve any of the pain they have to endure. My sincere hope is that – as a father who has been blessed with five healthy daughters – I can play a small part in helping not only the children but the families of the children as well.”

“Shriners Hospitals for Children is proud to partner with country star and humanitarian Trace Adkins this holiday season,” said Mel Bower, chief communications and marketing officer for Shriners Hospitals for Children. “The compassionate values Adkins represents align perfectly with our health care system’s mission to make the world a better place by providing hope and healing to children, and we are so honored to collaborate with him on this very special project. We hope everyone enjoys this music video, which features some of our incredible Shriners Hospitals’ patients, as much as we do.”

The new music video joins Adkins previously released studio album, The King’s Gift, which features a compilation of Christmas standards, Celtic classics and few of the Grand Ole Opry member’s favorite things.

The Grammy-award nominated country hitmaker plans to entertain fans throughout the holiday season at Gaylord Opryland’s dinner show: “A Trace Adkins Christmas featuring songs from The King’s Gift.” The celebration kicked off last weekend on November 9 with the annual tree lighting at Gaylord Opryland and Adkins’ performance dates will run through December 25, 2018. Tickets and more information can be found here.

A multi-faceted performer, Adkins has seen success in the recording studio as well as on the silver screen. The Louisiana native released his 12th studio album Something’s Going On with BBR Music Group’s Wheelhouse Records last March featuring songs “Watered Down” and “Still a Soldier,” which pays tribute to veterans and again highlights the compassion and dedication the artist has for our servicemen and women. The country music icon recently starred in the box office smash “I Can Only Imagine,” which was the third biggest-selling movie in America on its opening weekend, and has appeared in films such as “Lincoln Lawyer,” “Deepwater Horizon” and “Moms’ Night Out.”

Fans can see Adkins perform on NBC’s TODAY on December 18 and on the road in 2019 with Blake Shelton on his Friends & Heroes 2019 Tour.
