Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have a date planned this Saturday night (5/2) as they are playing the Grand Ole Opry.

Garth said, “During this time, they’ve been just having guys show up and do their thing. Me and Miss Yearwood – we’re going to be doing The Opry. I’m going to do some of the greatest country music on the planet for me. So, I’m sure there’s probably going to be some [George] Jones, there’s going to be some Randy Travis, some [George] Strait, [Merle] Haggard. And then you know The Queen – she’s going to sing some of the greatest stuff ever and it could all be her stuff, too. This is going to be a fun Saturday night right here.”

The long-running show has kept its weekly broadcasts (dating back nearly 100 years) uninterrupted lately by hosting performers in an empty Opry House, with a bare bones crew on-hand.

Garth and Trisha – both longstanding Opry members – are looking forward to taking the stage. Brooks said, “Is it too soon to say maybe the cloud’s kind of clearing? Maybe? All my love to you and your family. Nothing but safeness and health.”

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
