The episode aired tonight on NBC. Find out which Team Blake artists advance to the Top 11 Tuesday night at 8\/7c on NBC.<\/p>\n<p>Shelton brought along three Team Blake contestants on this field trip, giving them a peek at what it\u2019s like to forge a successful music career from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can tell it\u2019s just fueling their fire, like <em>That\u2019s what<\/em><em> I want to be doing<\/em>,\u201d Shelton says.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Voice <\/em>hopefuls Cali Wilson, Kat Hammock, and Ricky Duran not only watched Shelton perform during a special Ole Red fan event but also got to rehearse in front of their coach on the venue\u2019s stage.<\/p>\n<p>For Duran, the opportunity was a happy coincidence. Hailing from Worcester, Massachusetts, Duran moved to Austin, Texas a year ago to try his hand at the city\u2019s vibrant music scene, making a pit stop at Ole Red Nashville along the way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was literally a year ago today that I was just hanging out in this bar having a drink,\u201d Duran says. \u201cNow to be back a year later and on that stage singing to Blake Shelton at his bar is just so amazing for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A lot can happen in a year.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UlgOaFSqZns\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Fellow contestant Wilson, who has lived in Nashville for three years as a songwriter, says getting an inside look at Shelton\u2019s career has been inspirational, especially since the country star had just won his 10<sup>th<\/sup> CMA Award the night prior.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it shows how personal he is as an artist and how much he cares as a coach,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Since opening in 2018, Ole Red quickly became known as one of the top dogs in the honky-tonk world thanks to its premiere sound system and ample capacity for burgeoning artists to build a fan following.
