Blake Shelton Signs With BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville
Blake Shelton has a new label home, signing with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville.
Oklahoma native Shelton, who has earned 28 No. 1 Billboard Country Airplay hits during his career, is currently in the top 10 on the Country Airplay chart with his Post Malone collaboration “Pour Me a Drink.” During the course of his career, Shelton has not only earned accolades including five CMA Awards wins for male vocalist of the year, as well as a win for CMA entertainer of the year, but he’s also known as a multi-media personality, thanks to his 23 seasons serving as a coach on NBC’s Emmy-winning talent competition The Voice.
Currently his concerts for 2025 include his Live in Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, as well as his Friends and Heroes Tour, which launches Feb. 27 in Lexington, Ky. The tour will also feature Craig Morgan, Deana Carter, Trace Adkins and Emily Ann Roberts.
“Blake is one of the biggest personalities and presences in media,” Jon Loba, president of Frontline Recordings, Americas, BMG, said in a release. “America first got to know him through incredible, timeless songs and live shows and then fell in love with him and his sense of humor through TV. We are so excited he’s joining the BMG Global family and cannot wait to share his incredible new music with the world. He’s been laser-focused on delivering some of the best of his career and it shows. We have been dancing through the office, literally not just figuratively, since we heard the first couple songs he played for us!”
“A huge thanks to Jon, Peter, JoJamie, Katie, and the BMG family for being as excited as me about this new chapter we will write together,” Shelton added. “I felt their passion and love for music when I met with them, and I knew I was home. I am READY TO GO!”
Shelton joins BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville following over two decades at Warner Music Nashville. BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville is home to artists including Jelly Roll, Jason Aldean and reigning CMA entertainer of the year Lainey Wilson.
