Gwen Stefani Thanks Fans For Supporting Her And Blake Shelton's First Drive-In Concert

Aug 15, 2020 by apost team

After Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's first drive-in concert last month, Gwen Stefani reached out to their fans on Instagram, thanking them for coming.

Amid the current coronavirus crisis, singers have attempted to showcase their work through different forms. While some have performed through live video feeds, others have opted for a more personal style: drive-throughs. Drive-in concerts have become the next big thing in a world of social distancing.

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton gave a wonderful performance at their first drive-in in July. In her post of the performance, she thanked everyone for coming out to see them:

"Thank you to everyone that cam [sic] out to our first-ever drive-in show last night - @blakeshelton and I had so much fun seeing all your posts!"

Their fans flooded the comment sections with positive notes about their experiences. While some fans focused on the uniqueness of a drive-in concert, others focused on the obvious spark between Stefani and Shelton. Although the couple has been together for nearly five years, their passionate love for one another is still highly evident today.

Shelton posted a video of their rendition of Happy Anywhere, a duet that became the most popular song on iTunes recently. In all their success, the fans believe that the drive-in concert was one of the most memorable experiences. Before Gwen Stefani joined her boyfriend onstage, Trace Adkins accompanied Shelton to introduce the audience to the idea of a drive-in concert.

Beau Tackett was the lead guitarist, Jenee Fleenor played the fiddle, Kevin Post played the steel guitar, Kara Britz performed the background vocals, Rob Byus was in charge of bass, and Philip Desteiger played the keyboard. The band performed amazingly and the addition of Shelton only made the performance better.

During the performance, fans made sure to take the necessary safety precautions. They were all socially distanced, sitting in their cars at least 6 feet apart. All fans were required to wear face masks and sanitize when necessary.

The drive-in concert was named "Encore Drive-In Nights," and was pre-recorded. The footage was released at all drive-in theaters in America on the date of July 25th. The price for admission for the actual concert was relatively affordable, at only $114.99 per vehicle.

The idea of showing the concert across the theaters in America was proposed by Walter Kinzie, the founder, and CEO of Encore Live, according to NBC. He wanted to restart the world of entertainment amid the pandemic and resume with our normal lives.

With the necessary safety precautions, this is made possible in almost all 50 states. Of course, this method is a bit more convenient. Neither singers nor fans will have to travel long distances for a concert if this method continues to be used in the future.
