Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood to perform on live special
The country stars will perform ‘an intimate concert for viewers looking for comfort’
Garth Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood will be taking viewer requests during a live prime-time show this week filmed at their home.
CBS will air the special, ‘Garth and Trisha: Live!’ on Wednesday at 9pm Eastern.
In an announcement, CBS says the country stars will perform “an intimate concert for viewers looking for the comfort and shared joy of music during this difficult time.”
The inspiration came from a live show that Brooks performed from his studio last week that attracted millions of viewers and caused Facebook Live to crash multiple times.
With millions of Americans staying at home to try to stop the spread of the coronavirus, performers are turning to live streamed concerts to reach fans and lift spirits. J
ohn Legend, Keith Urban and John Mayer are among the stars who have performed virtual concerts.
