Gwen Stefani joins Blake Shelton during memorable Acrisure show The full set list
Blake Shelton’s Friday night show in Palm Desert was probably a lot like a night spent going shot for shot with the famously hard-drinking country star.
There was the first pour, er song (”Come Back as a Country Boy”), which went down smooth but still carried plenty of jolt. It was then quickly followed up with several more that further quickened our pulse while leaving us smiling from ear to ear. Before long, we were heartily laughing more than I’d ever expected to be over dumb jokes only to then find ourselves sharing a sentimental heart-to-heart like we were old friends.
As the end of the night grew closer, we took some time to savor some finely aged older “juice” only to finally spend our last moments tearing through a bottle of his finest stuff he’d been saving for just that moment.
Then, suddenly, two hours had gone by, my new friend had said his goodbyes and I was left with no choice but to dizzily stumble toward the exit, so tired and sweaty enough from dancing in my seat that I could barely move my legs, but somehow still jonesing for one more sip of Shelton’s ‘shine. Most of all, though, I felt completely in awe of the energy and stamina of this 47-year-old man from Oklahoma who’d just given me one heck of a good time.
The novelty of a major country arena concert in the Coachella Valley was
Nobody in Acrisure Arena was “Lonely Tonight.”
Eight-time Grammy Award nominee Blake Shelton made Acrisure Arena into his personal country bar Friday, March 22, for the latest stop on his Back to the Honky Tonk Tour. Emily Ann Roberts, a finalist on season nine of “The Voice” and member of team Blake Shelton, kicked the night off with a few songs before opener — and “Small Town Boy” singer — Dustin
Lynch took the stage.
Shelton then kicked the evening into high gear with a 25-song headlining set before coming back out to play one last song for the encore. His wife, Gwen Stefani, even came out for a few songs in the middle of the performance.
