Shelton will sit down with Country Aircheck Publisher/CEO and host of Westwood One’s Country Countdown USA, Lon Helton, and will speak candidly on his career, artistic process, and what’s on the horizon.

“This is one you definitely don’t want to miss! Blake speaks his mind, often surprises, and always, always makes you laugh. Come to CRS and enjoy some quality time with one of our biggest superstars,” CRS Board President, Kurt Johnson comments.

Shelton continues to add to his superstar status with his new album Body Language, available everywhere now. His most recent hit, 4x Platinum “God’s Country,” earned Shelton the 2019 CMA Award and 2020 ACM Award for Single of the Year. As his award wins approach the hundreds, Shelton remains a force in the industry with 5 ACM awards, 10 CMA awards, and 11 CMT awards, among many others.

Shelton has helped raise millions of dollars for children’s hospitals, disaster relief organizations, food banks, and more in his home state of Oklahoma and throughout the entire country. In 2019, he was awarded the CRS Artist Humanitarian Award for his continued outreach in helping to raise millions of dollars for countless causes.
