Many country music stars have bars / restaurants in Nashville that enhance their business portfolios and add to their wealth. Among them are Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Alan Jackson, Dierks Bentley, and Shania Twain. Since drinking is a common motif in country music, this is not a surprising trend. Blake Shelton actually has a chain of bars / restaurants called Ole Red. Per nbc.com, "When you visit the restaurant chain co-owned by Shelton, you can expect Southern, feel-good meals, and you might even spot a former Voice Artist or two!"
