Garth Brooks May Tour In 2014

Posted on by

Hotel Developers Steve Wynn Says Garth Brooks Will Kick Off World Tour In 2014. There hasn’t been any kind of formal confirmation from Garth Brooks camp yet, but Las Vegas based hotel developer Steve Wynn recently let slip in an interview with the Las Vegas Review Journal that Brooks is planning to kick-off a World Tour in 2014. He just finished up his 180 show, 3 year residency at Wynn’s hotel, Wynn Las Vegas, and the hotel developer says that, “He’s itching to get started on the world tour.” Garth, who formally retired in 2000 and whose last tour was in 1998, told the industry and fans that he wouldn’t hit the road again until after his youngest daughter graduated from high school. Is she really a teenager already? How time flies! She’ll graduate in May of 2014…so, that is auspicious timing! Whether any of Wynn’s statements are true or if they’re just way of drumming up interest or publicity or something, he sure got one thing right, “That Okie, he’s one gifted son of a gun.” If this 2014 World Tour becomes more than a rumor, no doubt, country music fans will be thrilled! Country Chat: Do you want Garth Brooks to tour in 2014?

Rascal Flatts On Chelsea Lately

Posted on by

Rascall Flatts Will Be on E!’s Chelsea Lately & NBC’s The Voice! Rascal Flatts will be on Chelsea Lately tonight, November 19! E!’s comical and sometimes controversial Chelsea Handler gives an interview unlike most which makes her segments all the more better. Her episodes that feature country stars always give me a laugh as the stars usually can barely answer a question from laughing themselves! The group will also appear on NBC’s The Voice tomorrow, November 20. Last week, Jason Aldean made his first performance on the show with “The Only Way I Know.” He had some help from two of the shows contestants, so I assume Rascal Flatts will do something along the same lines! Both of these appearances are to celebrate the release of their DVD project, RASCAL FLATTS: ALL ACCESS & UNCOVERED. The DVD is available starting today. It debuted in movie theaters across the country in a one-night-only event in conjunction with their CHANGED album release this past April. The DVD includes exclusive performance footage of some of their biggest hits and new music from CHANGED, as well as in-depth personal interviews from the road and inside the home studio of Jay DeMarcus where the album was recorded. Rascal Flatts will extend the Farmers Insurance Presents “Changed Tour” into 2013, kicking off a winter leg on January 10 with special guests The Band Perry.

Carrie Underwood To Sing Two Black Cadillacs at American Music Awards

Posted on by

Carrie Underwood Debuts New Single “Two Black Cadillacs” at 2012 American Music Awards! On Sunday night, Carrie Underwood will be representing for country music at the 2012 American Music Awards when she debuts her new single, “Two Black Cadillacs“, in what no doubt be a powerfull and stellar performance! The single will start getting airplay on country radio on November 26th. Catch the American Music Awards Sunday, November 18th at 8/7pm central on ABC. “Two Black Cadillacs” is featured on Carrie’s most recent album, Blown Away, which debuted in May. Maybe its just me, but the songs she’s released so far (“Blown Away“, “Good Girl“) seem to be a little darker than her previous single. She has other songs about cheating and hardship, sure, but these seem to have more edge. Maybe its something in the instrumentals? Whatever it is, I love it!
