Country music entertainer Blake Shelton‘s Ole Red Nashville location will be marking its grand opening during CMA Fest, June 6th through 10th. The brand new 26,000 square foot restaurant, bar, and music venue will host multiple events throughout the week, including an exclusive “Blake Shelton and Friends” concert following the CMT Awards on June 6th. (Ticket and sweepstakes information for that event can be found here.)
“Lower Broadway is the centerpiece of Nashville. There’s so much great music and fun going on down there all the time and it’s exciting to now be a part of it – it’s a dream come true,” Shelton shared in a statement.
Everyone is invited to join in on the fun as celebrations continue all week long with live music programming presented by Spotify. During select hours, guests can experience the restaurant’s highly anticipated menu under the direction of James Beard Award Nominated Executive Chef Garrett Pittler. Highlights include everything from traditional southern favorites (hot chicken, fried pickles and skillet cornbread) to high-end cuisine (oysters, pimento cheese burrata and charcuterie), with a few clever, Oklahoma-inspired specialties like catfish corndogs as well as specialty, hand-crafted cocktails, local brews, and a curated wine selection.
The Ole Red concept first came to life in Shelton’s adopted hometown of Tishomingo, Oklahoma, last fall. Nashville is the second location, with a third planned for Gatlinburg, Tennessee, set to open in 2019.

“When the Wine Wears Off” Lyrics
The keys are still hanging on the front door
You’re hanging all over me
And in between kisses I hear your whispers
Something ’bout loving me
There’s a half glass sittin’ on the table
The other half spilled on the bed
I’m half-way believin’
You’re really meaning every sweet word you just said
Or is it just that bottle of red?
When the wine wears off
And the buzz is gone
When the room stops spinnin’ ’round and ’round
Will you still be holding on?
Have we lost our minds
Or is your kiss that strong?
Tell me, will you still be mine
Baby, when the wine wears off?
When I wake up in the morning
Will you be in my arms?
When the sun starts shining through those blinds
Will you mean what you said in the dark?
Or will I have a headache and a broken heart?
When the wine wears off
And the buzz is gone
When the room stops spinnin’ ’round and ’round
Will you still be holding on?
Have we lost our minds
Or is your kiss that strong?
Tell me, will you still be mine
Baby, when the wine wears off?
I don’t want you to stop kissing me now
Keep on loving me, laying me down
I close my eyes and hide from these doubts
Do my best to not worry about
When the wine wears off
And the buzz is gone
When the room stops spinnin’ ’round and ’round
Will you still be holding on?
Have we lost our minds
Or is your kiss that strong?
Tell me, will you still be mine
Baby, when the wine wears off?
Will you still be mine
Baby, when the wine wears off?
