“The Voice” Contestant Invited to Join Shelton’s Tour

Country artist Gwen Sebastian’s journey on NBC’s The Voice has come to an end, but her career has since taken a very exciting turn.

Following her “Battle Round” performance of Pat Benatar’s “We Belong” and elimination on Monday (3/19), Sebastian has been invited to join Voice judge Blake Shelton’s Well Lit & Amplified Tour. Sebastian had been considered one of the season’s frontrunners, and was even named by Entertainment Weekly as a contestant to watch.

“The first time I ever heard Gwen’s voice I knew it was something special,” said Shelton. “She has the rare ability to combine power with passion in her singing abilities. Although our journey together has ended on The Voice, it’s just beginning in real life. I’m so proud every night to share the stage with her on the Well Lit & Amplified Tour. She is a star! We love our Gwen.”

“Never in a million years would I think that this journey would lead me to be on stage with Blake,” added Sebastian. “I am honored he asked me to become a part of his show and a member of his ‘road family.’ Watching him perform is a learning experience in itself. He has a big heart and an infectious laugh. Plus, he’s pretty darn funny!”

Sebastian will also join Shelton for a performance at the 47th Annual ACM Awards, which airs live on CBS Sunday, April 1 at 8 PM/ET.

Upcoming Well Lit & Amplified Tour dates:

March 21 — Rapid City, SD (Rushmore Plaza Civic Center Ice Arena)
