The set also included a performance of alongside his wife Stefani. The newlyweds performed their two chart-topping duets “Happy Anywhere” and “Nobody But You.”
“Come on out and get yourself a drink if you’re bored,” Shelton tweeted on Thursday morning (July 15), inviting fans to the concert. “I repeat it’s only a rehearsal… it may not be good but at least it’s free!”
I’ve got some shows coming up soon so I’m gonna be rehearsing today around 4 CT at @OleRed’s The Doghouse in Tishomingo. Come on out and get yourself a drink if you’re bored. I repeat it’s only a rehearsal… It may not be good but at least it’s free!

In a video shared by 93.1 Katy Country in Sherman, Texas, the newlyweds are seen singing the aforementioned tracks surrounded by fans, while Shelton’s bandmates were spread out throughout the venue.
“Goodbye Gwen Stefani,” Shelton said as she exited the stage.
Shelton opted for a more laid back look during his Tishomingo appearance, trading his signature cowboy boots for athletic shoes, one fan even noted “love the fact that he is wearing running shoes and not boots.”
