Oliver Anthony took his music to a unique setting, performing a special concert for miners inside an active coal mine in Laeger, West Virginia. The performance, shared via a YouTube video, featured a cover of Blake Shelton’s hit “Ol’ Red” and a selection of Anthony’s own original songs.
The concert, likely a free event to honor the miners, saw Anthony and his band donning hard hats—a fitting nod to both the safety requirements of the venue and the respect they paid to the workers. While details such as the setlist length remain unclear, the performance was a personal tribute to the miners, giving fans only a brief glimpse into the intimate event.
Anthony’s decision to perform in such a setting follows his recent comments about the current state of country music, showing his commitment to staying connected to his roots and celebrating the hardworking individuals who have supported his journey.
