As with the other venues, Ole Red Las Vegas will feature a menu of Shelton-inspired food and cocktails. It will be the brand’s largest location to date.

“I’m proud that we’re building a network of places where artists can get the kind of exposure playing live that is so critical for growing their fan base,” said Shelton.

American Idol alum Alex Miller’s first official music video, “Don’t Let The Barn Door Hit Ya,” was shot in Alex’s hometown of Lancaster, Kentucky and at his grandfather GB Miller’s farm, the clip features several members of the Miller family, friendly locals and super-model/KY basketball TV and radio host Maria Montgomery. Cinematographer Steve Kinney made the most of the “country boy vs. city girl” concept, capturing the differences in the characters while also portraying the dichotomy between the beauty of the farm and the realities of rural life. The “just this side of slapstick” video opens with Montgomery tappin’ her toes and waiting on Alex to pick her up. After a brief truck ride, the “new gal” arrives at the farm, and is immediately put to work helping ready things for that night’s barn dance. You can learn a lot about stage presence by playing a tree,” he adds with a laugh. More at https:// alexmillercountry.com.
