Short bio: 

Garth Brooks is a country pop singer-songwriter. His eponymous first album was released in 1989 and peaked at number 2 in the US country album chart while climbing to number 13 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Brooks' integration of rock elements into his recordings and live performances earned him immense popularity. This progressive approach allowed him to dominate the country single and album charts while crossing over into the mainstream pop arena.

Brooks broke records for both sales and concert attendance throughout the 1990s. Troubled by conflicts between career and family, Brooks officially retired from recording and performing from 2001 until 2009. During this time, he sold millions of albums through an exclusive distribution deal with Walmart and sporadically released new singles. In 2005, Brooks started a partial comeback, and has since given several performances and released two compilation albums.

On October 15, 2009, Garth Brooks announced the end of his retirement. In December 2009, he began a five-year concert deal with the Encore Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. Following the conclusion of his residency in Las Vegas, Brooks announced his signing with Sony Music Nashville in July 2014. In September 2014, he began his comeback world tour. His most recent album, Man Against Machine, was released on November 11, 2014 via his online music store GhostTunes.

Brooks was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on October 21, 2012.

My husband, sister and I have volunteered at the lighting of the National Christmas Tree in DC for the last 4 years to help the National Park Service. We always work the entrance checking credentials for the dress rehearsal. In 4 years, you and Trisha have been the ONLY performers to acknowledge us. You both told us “Good night!” None of the performers even look our way. Thank you for acknowledging us and noticing that volunteers are donating their time to help.

I’m very disappointed that Garth is endorsing Bernie Sanders for president in 2020. Saw him wearing a Sanders 20 jersey. Can’t believe that an American country singer would endorse a socialist...

Submitted by Cory on

Garth was performing in Detroit and wearing the jersey of LEGENDARY Detroit Lions RB Barry Sanders. It had nothing to do with the election!

Howdy from Phoenix Arizona Class of 77!
Always surprised how similar our taste is in music. Skinny Black kid in Tucson listening to Marshal Tucker, Charlie Daniels, Lynrd Skynrd, the Police, but also Etta James, Dinah Washington, Diana Ross.
Stevland Morris (Stevie Wonder) Best concerts I ever sneaked into: Elton John (Honky Cat tour). Dan Fogelberg (Phoenix Tour) Willie Nelson at the stadium, Cat Stevens (Majikat tour) and of course Lynda Ronstadt and Stevie Nix (hometown girls), and James Taylor. You are amazing, you do good work. Say Hi to the Misses. New favorite song "You Wreck Me" LOL

Hey Garth,
I'm a huge fan of yours. I've always wanted to meet you and to see you in concert but funds are low at the moment. I listen to standing outside the fire all the time because of the message behind it. It's brought me out of tough spots in my life a lot. You are a true inspiration. You are definitely my favorite singer-songwriter of all time. It would be a great honor to just sit down and talk to you. I love in South Carolina. And if you're ever in the town of Summerville look me up on Facebook.

Hey Garth,
You are definitely my favorite singer-songwriter of all time. My favorite song is standing outside the fire because of the message behind it. That song has gotten me thru some hard times. I've always wanted to meet you and to see you in concert but due to funds I can't. I love in South Carolina. My dream is to meet you and Trisha Yearwood. If you can make that happen my life would be complete.

May God always bless you sir I don't know how to play a guitar but I love to sing man I used to listen to your songs back in 1994 when I gradgurated high school

This song has taken on a different meaning for me. My wife of nearly 49 years has dementia and now resides in an assisted living facility. With the CoronaVirus, I can no longer get in to visit her with her face to face. She no longer knows my name. The last few times we were able to see each other and hug one another, the only sentence she can say thankfully is "I love you." I am thankful that the love "I gave her every day is going to be enough to stay" with me forever. Thanks, Garth, for that truly special song.

I cannot share your music with my daughter and son and my nieces and nephews. I saw you in concert and i have cd albums but your music is not available on apple or spotify or you tube. You will be forgotten.🙁

Hello. I was very impressed when I was browsing the Turbo Jav site. I saw that you threw the javelin at Oklahoma State. I also saw that you worked with Tom Petranoff and Jim Lothrop. I went to high school with Jim.
I'm not sure if you would mention your college experience.
Thank you

I'm a rocker but have liked some of your songs over the years. Since covid, over seen 2 of your tv specials and am now a fan . You and Trisha are so fun to watch. I think you have a med issue that wont let you stand still, and I love it thanks.

Instead of postponing your concerts why not cancel them until after the Covid Pandemic? Bon Jovi did this. It would really help your fans!! If you cancel your concerts people who are out of work will get there money back from there ticket purchase. People could really use that money now. Than after this pandemic passes and you reschedule your awesome concerts, people will be back at work and they will just re-book. Not sure if you know this but ….Ticket vendors will not refund ticket prices especially "vivid seats" for postpones concerts.

I had the privilege of seeing you in concert for free 3 times during the Colorado state fair the summer of 1991.I continue to enjoy your music to this day. The first show I had my new born daughter with me and had to sit up on the top away from the stand. The next 2 times I left her with my parents and enjoyed being right up front. You received your first gold record during your stay with us. You are very gifted.

You have been one of my favorite artists. I understand you wanting unity. There is a time for it, but when unity is our way or no way - its not unity, its slavery. You won't feel it - you have more money than most and would never feel the pain and racism towards our people now. I am not even worried about that. The fact you are supporting Satanic politicians and pedophiles concerns me the most. Sorry to say my only real option is to block all Garth. Im sure my .99 cents of not buying your music or my opinion even maters to you. Shame you didn't research and think about what you were doing. Sex trafficking and selling baby parts is the way of the left discussed as liberals. I wish you the best - enjoy the money while it lasts.

Playing for a political party that wants to cancel a large part of your fan base could definitely come back to haunt you. Time will tell. The minute you strike a cord at the inauguration the CD's I have will be canceled.
Once upon a time fan, Chickey

I have always been a really big fan but it really disappointed me that you choose to be at Biden’s inauguration. I will truly miss your music. I can’t support someone who doesn’t support America. I will no longer listen and buy your music, nor will a lot of people that I know. Goodbye

Dear Mr.Garth Brooks,
I heard your song and it gave me hope we can have a peaceful country. Don’t get me wrong, I see that hints both ways, good and bad. If we can except each other for who we are and what we believe and listen to each other, this world will be a better place. My family was awesome and has fallen apart but your song gave me hope. Thank you.

Mr. Garth Brooks,

I want to let you know that as a fan of your music and a devoted Country music fan I was so excited when I saw you walking down the stairs at the inauguration. I jumped up from my chair and started clapping so loud as I watch with my co teacher. She probably thought I lost my mind for a minute. Pure joy!! I love you and that was amazing!!! You sir, are appreciated and Loved.
There are people in this word that hate with no reason. I love you for so many reasons. THANK YOU my beautiful Garth💕

Mr. Brooks, I am a 58 year old man that has been a fan from the begging. I needed to tell you how your music helped me through the biggest challenge of my life. 469 days ago I lost my wife, my heart and sole to cancer. Teri’s 8 month battle ended on my son’s 15 birthday. Through it all you music soothed my heart. The nights I laid awake watching her sleep, praying for her to keep breathing I wondered, have I done enough, does she know how much I loved her if tomorrow never comes. The Dance, Much to Young, She is Every Woman, I can’t name them all. Had a little help from Ed Sheehan, because she was Perfect. So, for day 470, with tears in my eyes again, thank you!

Hey Garth, what's up mani? I am your biggest fan in the world and I can tell you what album every single one of your songs came off of. I'm 38 years old and I have wanted to see you in concert my whole life and I finally got to see you at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit before they tore it down. I am a single of 7 year old twins and I want them to see you in concert too. They know your music and love it just like I do they also listen to you on their tablets as well. I hope I will be able to be apart of your stadium tour crowd soon, but you already played a show at Ford field home of my favorite sports team the Detroit Lions and I don't have the money to spend right now as a single father of twins. Everyone has a top 3 and it is usually God, family and friends. My top 3 are God, family and the Lions. But, if the Fords ever sell the Lionsand they get moved put of Michigan then you will take over the #3 spot. You're amazing man!

In 1999 I left an abusive 16 yr marriage. I was on my own making ends meet with two jobs and a two bedroom apt... I bought a house with only 2000. Finally at 39 I was on my way. I met a wonderful man James Klump. I had two children a 12 yr old daughter and a 17 yr old son. You couldn't get him to listen to country music for nothing. He also had two children 11 and 16. We dated for 2 yrs then decided to move in together. I didn't know what a soul mate was till he came along. The love we shared was unbelievable. I also didn't foresee how things would change with his kids and ex once they moved in. To make a long story short . In 2013 I decided it was over. I wanted him to go. Tragedy hit when his youngest overdosed and I could not crush him even more. So we stayed together but I was not a nice person. If I was him I would have left. I would ask him at good moments why do you put up with me. He just said I have big shoulders. And then he called me into the room for me to hear how he really felt. And I cried. I cried for a long time. Because the only way he could explain for me to really understand was to play THE DANCE, Well that wonderful man past away in 2017 at 64 yrs old from cancer. I cannot listen to THE DANCE without crying. I miss him so much and am so sorry I treated him the way I did. I will Love him ❤ forever. Thank you Garth for how you touch my soul. LOVE BETH DICARLO

I just heard your station (55) on Sirius XM is leaving on October 1, 2022. Your station is the only one I listen to. Please, please reconsider ending the station. I love your music and I love all of your music choices!!

People do not seem to realize when you are in a public business you have to be neutral. My father owed a bar for years. People loved him because he never gossip never gave anyone a reason to get mad at him .He only had one fight in his bar in all the years. So if your customers want the beer you get it. Great business sense.
