Garth Brooks...and THE Announcement...



Being first is not always being right.... Trust me NO one is talking in an official capacity about Garth Brooks.....   It IS true that Brooks is having 2 news conferences on Thursday October 15th....One in Nashville then a second one in Las Vegas....
Now Robin Leach and other in Las Vegas have plenty of Vegas contacts and that place can only keep certain kinds of secrets....For months the Vegas people have been talking Garth...The leaks on the expected Garth shows are coming from Vegas....Everyone associated with Steve Wynn seems to be acknowledging that Garth is coming to Vegas to play at Mr Wynn's hotel where the late Danny Gans played....I believe them...BUT devil's in the details....
How much a ticket? Even for charity Garth takes care of his fans like he did in KC and LA a few years ago..This is a small place we are talking about here...not a vast arena like the MGM where the ACMs have been or even the Mandalay Events center.
How many shows?  No one is talking about that even the leakers...one leaker said 16 shows......
So is Garth coming out of retirement to start playing Vegas? Rememebr garth never said he wouldnt ever play again..he said TOUR wont happen until his girls got older. So technically, yes shows NO tour... Folks Garth doesn't need the money...This man has been spending his life being a Dad first ..husband to Trisha a close second and a tireless worker for charity next....    If Garth does play Vegas it will be special and not forever. It will most likely be for charity.   I would think this is a LIMITED event...maybe less than 2 dozen shows ( educated guess based on past events)...
Steve Wynn hosted Garth a few months ago....There were at least 2 special private shows at the Danny Gans theater for movers and shakers.
Thursday Garth will make some official announcements...The word used by leakers " resident headliner" is a tricky one..that would truly be a surprise part of the announcement.   Garth doing some special shows to help about Wynn..or the fact he will base out of Wynn's hotel and do some special shows int he next year...possible...
The flight from Tulsa to Vegas is 2:30 approx...flying East maybe 2...so its easy for the g man to spend very little time away from home. He doesnt fly SWA anymore though he did fly commercial for most of his career..frugal..now private FYI.
Why Vegas? It's Home of the National Finals Rodeo December 3 through 12...That's when country goes to Vegas...  Brooks and Dunn will be at the Hilton Dec 4 ,5,6...here are the other rodeo bookings

  1. That's some pretty good guessing there. You seem to know as much or more than anybody else.

Luke Bryan Reigns At Spring Break Panama City

Luke Bryan's Spring Break...Here To Party Tops Billboard's Country and Top 200 Sales Charts NASHVILLE, TN – Country superstar and 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards show co-host Luke Bryan has topped the Billboard Country sales chart and earned his first #1 album on Billboard's Top 200 chart with Spring Break...Here To Party, selling 149,515 units in its first week. This is the first full-length physical album released from Bryan's five-year "Spring Break" series. The 14-track album features two new tracks as well as a collection of songs from his previously released digital "Spring Break" EPs - 2009's Spring Break...With All My Friends, 2010's Spring Break 2...Hangover Edition, 2011's Spring Break 3...It's A Shore Thing and last year's Spring Break 4...Suntan City.

Kenny Rogers featured in Billboard’s 50 th  Anniversary of Adult Contemporary chart   Rogers’ Ranks Sixth-Best All Time and Fourth-Best Male with 28 AC Top 10 hits Nashville, TN (August 25, 2011) – According to Billboard, Kenny Rogers’ 28 Adult Contemporary Top 10’s are sixth-best all-time, and fourth-best among men, trailing only Elton John, Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley.  Kenny Rogers' feats on the AC chart include 47 hits, tying him with Barry Manilow for seventh-most in the chart's history. No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool. I've always been a believer in the strength of the song. My problem is I'm a country singer who's had a lot of other musical influences, so my stuff is going to tend to be more AC. That's always been my slam in country music, that I was never a true country artist, even though &q

They call her..The Bare Naked Bandit..29 yr Old Lee Grace Doherty

ARRESTED now in Colorado...but what a story and week for 2 brothers and their stripper sister! Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when... They shot at a law enforcement officer outside of Tampa Bay, Fla., and when they fired inside that bank in Valdosta, Ga. But these additional texts and tweets have given us additional insight," FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett told "Good Morning America" today. " We are concerned and feel that they are going to continue and cause problems to say the least for law enforcement." Ryan Dougherty, 21; his sister Lee Grace E. Dougherty, 29; and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, have been on the lam since Aug. 2 when they shot at a police officer attempting to pull their white Subaru Impreza over for speeding. A few hours later, they robbed a bank in G
