Gone Country, Alan Jackson Tribute Band and Blake Nation, Tribute to Blake Shelton blew up the Stage this past Saturday night at the Revel in Frisco TX. Gone Country took the stage first as they poured out all the fan favorits of Alan Jackson which primed the crowd for the headliner, Blake Nation who took hold of the reins and blew up the stage with hit after hit from the country super star Blake Shelton. Both bands left the crowd stunned at the accuracy each band diplayed at getting the audience to believe they were actually listening to the real artest. One fan in the crowd stated "If I would have closed my eyes, I sware I would have belived it was the real thing".
Gone Country has been on the scene now for almost a year but have been working on the show since the begining of Covid lock downs which set them back a little. Blake Nation has been saluting Blake for several years now which caught the eye of the real Blake who now has the band play for his birthday at his bar Ole Red in Nashville. Scott Jones, fake Alan, had this to say about Blake Nation. I heard a lot of tribute bands out there and there are just a few I would consider to be the best. Blake Nation is one of those bands". Blake Nation line up is David Newton (Fake Blake), Kymber Newton (Backup Vocals), Dave Powell (lead Guitar), Phillip Walker (Keys), David Alexander (Lap, Pedal, & Dobro), Mark Lewis (Bass), and Andy Pruyn (Drums). You can't meet a better bunch of guys", says Scott from Gone Country. "If you haven't had ha chance to check out these two bands your missing out.
