Gwen Stefani’s Son Zuma Makes Stage Debut at Blake Shelton’s Bar

Gwen Stefani’s Son Zuma Makes Stage Debut at Blake Shelton’s Bar

Another member of the Stefani-Shelton household is getting his musical start at Blake Shelton‘s Oklahoma Ole Red bar.

During an event on Monday night (July 29), Shelton was onstage to perform at his bar — and he surprised the crowd by inviting his 15-year-old stepson, Zuma, to the stage.

“Zuma Rossdale, everybody,” Shelton can be heard saying in the video below, as he vacates his barstool so that Zuma can sit down and play.

Fans may recall that Gwen Stefani‘s oldest son Kingston also appeared onstage at Ole Red to make his performance debut last summer.

But while Kingston’s musical style leaned more towards rock, it seems that Zuma’s tastes have been informed by his country superstar stepdad. The young singer strolled out onstage in jeans and a cowboy hat, acoustic guitar in hand, and performed a rendition of Zach Bryan‘s “Oklahoma Smokeshow.”

Throughout the performance, Shelton was in “proud dad” mode: You can see him adjusting the microphone for Zuma, and giving the teen singer a thumbs up from the side of the stage.

Shelton married Gwen Stefani in 2021, and since then, he hasn’t been shy about stepping up to the plate to help parent the three sons she shares with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.

He retired as a coach on The Voice in order to prioritize family time, and has been open about how Stefani’s kids changed his perspective on life.

“Having kids, it truly does make you go, ‘Oh, whoa, wait a minute. This isn’t about me anymore and never will be again,'” he explained in 2022. “If you don’t say that yourself, I think you’re only hurting yourself, because you’re going to miss out.”
