Adkins’ The Christmas Show 2014 Tour is a reverent, family-friendly theatrical production, featuring songs from his Celtic Christmas album, The King’s Gift.

In his 2007 autobiography, A Personal Stand: Observations and Opinions from a Freethinking Roughneck, the former oil-rigger recounted his rise to fame, brushes with death, and battles with personal demons. Adkins has acted in the films The Lincoln Lawyer (starring Matthew McConaughey) and Moms’ Night Out (starring Patricia Heaton, Sean Astin, and Sarah Drew). He developed and hosted Great American Country (GAC)’s “Great American Heroes,” and he has hosted the American Country Awards on FOX for four consecutive years.
