Blake Shelton returned to Ole Red Orlando to perform in front of a packed house last night. The boss man’s one-hour set included hits like “God’s Country” and “Happy Anywhere,” ending with fan favorite, “Boys ‘Round Here.”

On stage, Shelton remarked, “We wanted to come here and have fun with you guys and say thank you for supporting Ole Red Orlando. This is such a fun place!”

NBC’S “The Voice” season 22 winner, Bryce Leatherwood, opened the evening. Leatherwood started the night off with country classics like “The Fireman” by George Straight and “Whenever You Come Around” by Vince Gill. Leatherwood also performed unreleased original songs “Made Me, Me” and “The Finger” to the pumped-up crowd. The “Team Blake” alum has been a regular guest at Shelton’s Ole Red venues, recently selling out his four-show residency at Ole Red Tishomingo in Oklahoma as well as his shows at Ole Red Gatlinburg and Ole Red Orlando.

Of his experience on working with Blake, Leatherwood says, “Working with Blake has been an incredible experience. We share a love for pure country music and his Ole Red bars have treated me so well and reflect his love for a great drink or two.”

The official Blake Shelton Icon Park Pre-Party, held in partnership with local country radio station K92.3, surprised a handful of ultimate Blake Shelton fans with last minute tickets to the show. The station began a live broadcast from Ole Red Orlando at 4:00 p.m. while other vendors on-site also hosted giveaways and free samples to fans.

Shelton’s Ole Red Orlando performance followed the Opry member’s honor of presenting Toby Keith with the “Country Icon” award at the first-ever People’s Country Choice Awards live from the Grand Ole Opry House. During the show, Shelton also received the award for “The Social Country Star of 2023.” Earlier this week, Shelton and Carson Daly celebrated the announcement of the return of their beloved game show, “Barmageddon,” where celebrity friends compete in the ultimate bar game show down set at Shelton’s Ole Red Nashville.
