As we reported last week, Blake Shelton got himself in trouble when he called classic country fans ‘old farts’ in a GAC ‘Backstory’ special. Country legend Ray Price wasn’t too impressed and made sure Blake knew it. They patched things up but here’s where things get interesting.
The promoter of Price’s upcoming performance in Branson, Missouri is offering Shelton the opportunity to be the opening act.
“We have always been fans of Blake Shelton and know this will be a good opportunity for him to show the appreciation he has expressed for those who came before him in the music business,” said Bob Cannella, owner of Up Close Concerts. “We pay our performers based on their experience in the business and track record of hit songs with staying power through many generations. So, we are able to offer Blake a guaranteed payment of $350, plus catering (six inch turkey sub — no cheese) and complimentary black coffee.”
And to top it off with a cherry Cannella added, “We ask that Mr. Shelton limit his set to no more than 30 minutes.”
Think Blake is going to accept?
