We make fun of all the country stars opening bars in Nashville, but the truth is . . . it’s pretty cool. Especially because there’s always a chance they’ll do a popup show, like BLAKE SHELTON did on Wednesday at his Ole Red club.
It sounds like he brought it, too. He put in over two hours, and took a bunch of requests. If there was an ulterior motive, it’s because he’s hitting the road next month . . . and a tune-up is always good.
He told the crowd, quote, “I’m just trying to do songs I think I should remember, and I think I’m doing pretty good. I swear that’s why we’re down here. We’ve got a tour about to start up, so it doesn’t hurt for me to re-learn some of my old stuff.
“There’s a good chance I could screw some of this up tonight. But who cares, man? Get a drink. Get me a drink. Get them a drink. Let’s just have some fun.”
There were also guest appearances from former “Voice” contestants RaeLynn and Pryor Baird. The Ole RedInstagram page posted a 20-second clip of Blake singing . . . you guessed it, “Ol’ Red”.
