As country music’s proud ambassador, Blake Shelton has spent two decades pouring out boot-stomping bangers, heartbreak anthems, and endearing odes to love gone wrong and right.
Over the span of his career, he has earned 28 No. 1 country singles and is currently climbing the singles and streaming charts with “Pour Me A Drink,” where he joins multi-genre hitmaker Post Malone.
He recently wrapped his 2024 “Back To The Honky Tonk” Tour, which was one of the biggest-selling tours so far this year. The finale in Tulsa, OK was titled Blake Shelton & Friends: Oklahoma Is All For The Hall. The show included fellow Oklahomans Ronnie Dunn, Kristin Chenoweth, Vince Gill, and others, and the benefit raised more than $750,000 for the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.
With 52 million singles and 13 million albums sold and nearly 11 Billion Global Streams, Shelton has received numerous awards, including six ACMs, three AMAs, 10 CMAs, 11 CMTs, and six People’s Choice, among many others.
Shelton was born and raised in Oklahoma with strong community ties. He recently donated $200,000 to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. In response to the devastating tornadoes of 2013, Shelton and NBC teamed up on the telethon "Healing in the Heartland: Relief Benefit Concert." With the help of Reba McEntire, Usher, Rascal Flatts, Vince Gill and Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, the telethon raised more than $6 million for United Way of Central Oklahoma. He donated $500,000 to the Jimmy Everest Center, an Oklahoma University hospital for children with blood cancer and disorders.
In association with Ryman Hospitality Properties, the Grand Ole Opry member has opened a string of entertainment-themed restaurants and bars called Ole Red. The first venue opened in 2017 in his hometown of Tishomingo, Oklahoma. He now has venues in Nashville, TN, Gatlinburg, TN, Orlando, FL, and Las Vegas.
