Interview with Trisha Yearwood

It takes a lot to stand out when you’re potentially stuck in the galactic-sized shadow that Garth Brooks casts, but Trisha Yearwood is more independent side-kick than an after-thought.  While she only has a small role in the World Tour shows (the duo sing one duet before Trisha takes over the show for four songs a little over halfway through Garth’s set), Trisha keeps busy maintaining the luminous shine of her own stardom.

Not only does she sing, cook, write, and star on TV, she excels in all of these forums.  Her singing has garnered her numerous awards from Grammy’s to CMA and ACM Awards, as well as sales of over 15 million albums.  Her cooking TV show “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen” has earned her an Emmy, and her cookbooks have added “New York Times Bestseller” to her resume.  Just this morning, she was live-tweeting during the airing of her latest episode!

As Garth and Trisha prepared to kick off their three-show run at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, FL, they held a press conference Thursday afternoon to greet the local media.  After the press conference, I had a chance to conduct a quick interview with each of them.  Click the play button below to hear my interview with Trisha Yearwood!
