FORT SMITH - Country superstar Blake Shelton was in town on business, so he decided to treat the city to a free concert. After touring the Pernod Ricard facility, he played the Sound Room downtown, giving concertgoers some eight hours notice over Twitter that he would be playing the event.
Shelton is a spokesperson for Smithworks Vodka, which is bottled locally.
Members of the public began lining up to be a part of the concert around 1:00 PM on Thursday afternoon.
Also appearing at the concert was Shelton’s girlfriend, pop artist Gwen Stefani.
