Blake Shelton raises more than $100K in fundraiser
The three-day event included an archery tournament, team roping and closed with a concert on the 24th with Shelton, Craig Morgan and Neal McCoy. The archery tournament had 300 participants - tripling the number from last year and the team roping event was closed after 250 teams. The concert was sold-out - once again.
"I am truly amazed at the generosity of my fellow Oklahomans, helping a neighbor in need by attending and participating in Raindance," says Shelton. "I look forward to growing this event and being able to help even more folks."
Shelton is auctioning his personal guitar to benefit Raindance. The guitar is a 2004 Takamine Sunburst EF350 that Shelton has played for the past two years while touring and making special appearances and played it for the final time during the concert on April 24. The guitar will be signed by Shelton, Morgan and McCoy. Bids can be placed at www.oklahomaraindance.com.

if you're looking for the fresh stuff, this is essentially an EP spearheaded by the Platinum lead single "God's Country. ...
Blake Shelton's 11th studio album finds The Voice advisor in a contented, one might even say homey, frame of mind. The opening track and first single "I'll Name the Dogs" sets the tone. It's a rollicking ode to domesticity that manages to make household chore distribution ("You find the spot and I'll find the money / You be the pretty and I'll be the funny") both romantic and amusing. The beat switches to hip-hop on "Money," but the sentiment ...
This six-song "Blake Shelton Live EP" seems a little odd. It's not as though Shelton had an especially noteworthy tour to document.
