(Nashville, TN – April 5, 2010) Hundreds of Country music fans and line dance enthusiasts turned out for a two-week, three-round Blake Shelton “Hillbilly Bone” dance competition at world-famous Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth, Texas.
Contestants competed for a chance to win autographed Blake Shelton memorabilia and merchandise. Fifty dancers were chosen in each of the first two preliminary rounds, based on their mastery of Billy Bob’s dance instructor Wendell Nelson’s custom line dance for Shelton’s No. 1 hit single, “Hillbilly Bone.” Ten lucky contestants (pictured below) were chosen in the third and final round as the competition winners.
Shelton’s Hillbilly Bone SIX PAK release, featuring Trace Adkins on the self-titled hit single, has remained in the Top 5 on Billboard’s Country Albums Chart since its release four weeks ago and has already sold more than 140,000 copies to date.
