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.

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!
