Coming off an unmatched, week-long grand opening celebration which took place during CMA Fest, Ole Red Nashville has become one of the hottest new places on Nashville’s famed Broadway.

About Blake Shelton
Country Music Association’s 2012 “Entertainer of the Year,” five-time Male Vocalist of the Year winner and GRAMMY nominee Blake Shelton continues to add to his superstar status. In November he released his album Texoma Shore, which became his sixth record to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and marked his 11th all-genre Top 10, Texoma Shore. The album has yielded the hit songs “I Lived It” as well as the smash hit “I’ll Name The Dogs,” a romantic tune that boasts over 68 million streams and recently became his 25th No. 1 song. “Turnin’ Me Me” is the newest single from the album. Texoma Shore follows 2016’s Gold-certified If I’m Honest, the best-selling country album release of the year, which spawned three chart-topping songs and earned him a No. 1 on both the Billboard Top Country Albums and the all-genre Top Album Sales charts.
A member of the Grand Ole Opry, Shelton has earned a host of honors throughout his career including 20 ACM nominations and the Top Country Artist title at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards. As a coach for the Emmy Award-winning television show “The Voice”, Shelton is a six-time champion, most recently with his contestant Chloe Kohanski. Offstage, Shelton has teamed up with Ryman Hospitality to open a string of Ole Red entertainment restaurant venues, a nod to his 2001 hit of the same name. The flagship location in his Oklahoma hometown Tishomingo opened its doors in September 2017, with Nashville’s venue on lower Broadway open now.

About Carly Pearce
Born into the bluegrass brawn of Kentucky, Carly Pearce has never known a moment that Country music wasn’t her destined path. At the young age of 11 she began touring with a local band, at 16 quit high school for a job performing at Dollywood while being homeschooled and learned humility working odd jobs upon moving to Nashville. Now she’s defying odds with her No. 1 debut “Every Little Thing,” which steered a chart-topping trifecta on SiriusXM’s The Highway that also includes “If My Name Was Whiskey” and “Hide The Wine.” With the Gold-certified title track from her highly-acclaimed debut album Every Little Thing (Big Machine Records), Carly became the highest charting solo female debut since July 2015 and one of only three to accomplish the feat in 12 years. Aligned with sought-after producer/songwriter busbee (Katy Perry, Keith Urban, Maren Morris, Kelly Clarkson) and regarded as having “the best country debut of 2017” (Uproxx), Carly’s textured vocals and emotive songwriting prowess are emphasized across 13 tracks. Earning her first ACM Awards nomination for New Female Vocalist of the Year in April, Carly won CMT Music Awards’ Breakthrough Video of the Year for “Every Little Thing” and Radio Disney Music Awards’ The Freshest! – Radio Disney Country Best New Artist. Among the many supporters, SiriusXM chose her for their all-genre “Class of 2017,” CMT rallied behind her as a Next Women of Country alum, Pandora featured her as a 2018 Artist to Watch, programmers nationwide voted her into the CRS New Faces Class of 2018 and People deemed her “the new voice of Country” while praise has poured over from media and industry to fans alike. Carly’s sound has always honored the legendary voices before her, evident with over 50 invitations to play the Grand Ole Opry. This year, she holds a coveted slot on four major tours with Blake Shelton, Thomas Rhett, Rascal Flatts and Luke Bryan (including stadium dates). She has previously joined the bill alongside Eric Church, Kelsea Ballerini, Martina McBride, Kip Moore and Brett Young, among others.
