Garth Brooks
Garth. The man, the myth, the legend. The man who is so in love with his wife, Trisha Yearwood, that he jokingly hates the fact that his part of the World Tour show “isn’t his favorite” because Trisha “blows him away” every time she takes the stage to give him a breather halfway through his off-the-charts-high energy set. The myth that is every bit the kind, humble, and friendly southern gentleman superstar that is unheard of for someone at such astronomical levels of stardom. The legend that is selling tickets at a rate 134% higher than he did on his last world tour nearly two decades ago.
I have interviewed dozens of artists over the years ranging from wet-behind-the-ears kids trying to break into the music business to multi-platinum selling stars, but never was I more nervous about an interview than I was preparing for my three minutes with Garth Brooks. By the time we got to the one-on-one interview portion of his and Trisha’s press conference on Thursday, his relaxed and casual demeanor during the open forum Q&A session had calmed my nerves.
Knowing that I only had 3 minutes with him, I whittled down my list of questions to the ones I asked in the recording you’ll find below. Just click the play button to listen to what Garth had to say about being back out on the road, what his favorite baseball team is, what his passions outside of family and music are, what his most memorable moments were, and even his advice for up-and-coming artists.
