Tennessee is coming to town for the annual Slobber Knocker, and, of course, Hate Tennessee Week is officially underway.

We also have country music legend Blake Shelton rolling into Tuscaloosa on Friday night.

Steve & DC have your last-minute Blake Shelton concert tickets that you can win this week during the 7 AM hour, and the guys will be broadcasting LIVE on Friday morning on 95.3 The Bear from the site of the big show, the Mercedes-Benz amphitheater.

They will have a bunch of surprises in store, as you never know who might show up for that broadcast.

Blake is a true superstar in music, boasting 30 number-one songs and 41 top 20 hits.

Only a few artists in music have done more than that in American music history.

Of course, he’s also been one of the most popular judges on the television singing competition on NBC, The Voice.

He’s involved with a new singing competition that teams him up with Keith Urban this fall.

It should be a great night under the stars in Tuscaloosa, listening to all the hits of Blake’s successful career.

The Mercedes-Benz Amphitheater is gearing up for a big season in 2026 and will make some announcements on Friday morning about the upcoming concert season.
