November is shaping up to be a whirlwind of performances for Jordan Smith, the Season 9 winner of "The Voice" and Lee University alumnus.
Smith spent Election Night, Nov. 8, taping "CMA Country Christmas" before a live audience at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. The holiday special will air on ABC on Monday, Nov. 28.
More than 3,500 fans were at the Opry house to watch an all-star cast for the show. Host Jennifer Nettles was joined by 14 country and pop acts that included Smith, Kelly Clarkson, Loretta Lynn, Idina Menzel, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Chris Young and Amy Grant.
Just one week ago, Smith announced he would be part of the cast of NBC's "Christmas at Rockefeller Center," which airs Wednesday, Nov. 30. The holiday special celebrates the lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree and kicks off New York's holiday season.
Also this week, Jordan Smith is opening for Grant and Michael W. Smith on their annual Christmas concert tour, which kicks off Friday in Los Angeles. The 20-city tour will stop in Duluth, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta, on Friday, Dec. 16, for a concert in The Arena at Gwinnett Center. Jordan Smith is expected to sing tracks from his new Christmas CD, "'Tis the Season," which was released in October.
