Keeping up with Garth





LOS ANGELES, November 11, 2010-  Garth Brooks' first year out of retirement has been as busy if not busier than any of his previous years prior to his announcement that he was retiring.

"Unanswered Prayers", a movie for television based on Garth Brooks' 1991 #1-single of the same name, will air on Lifetime, November 29, 2010. "Unanswered Prayers" is executive produced by Garth and Lisa Sanderson for their Red Strokes Productions. Filmed in Virginia, the film stars Eric Close, Samantha Mathis, Mädchen Amick and tells the story of a happily married father who's life changes when the woman of his high school dreams returns to town.

Also coming up soon you'll be able to catch Garth on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Oprah Winfrey Show.

The Wynn Las Vegas has just announced new dates for Garth Brooks at their intimate Encore Theater at the Encore Resort. Tickets for the next series of highly anticipated concerts will go on sale, Saturday, November 13 at 10 a.m. PT. Tickets are $225 plus service charge and tax ($253 total). Of the raise in ticket price, Steve Wynn said, “My decision to raise the ticket price was a simple one. The demand for Garth was so overwhelming that it caught us by surprise. We could fill a theater many times the size of this, twice a night. The most important thing for our company is to give people value for their entertainment dollar. The contact with Garth Brooks in the Encore Theater is the equivalent of being in his living room. When the greatest live performer of our time appears in such an intimate theater, the seats should be priced at least competitively with other great Las Vegas entertainers. In terms of value, I believe that Garth Brooks is still under-priced and represents the greatest entertainment value in modern Las Vegas.”

 “I am flattered Steve Wynn believes in me as an entertainer and my deal with him is not affected by ticket price. My only concern is the audience. Right now, the Vegas audiences are some of the best I have ever played for and I’d hate to see that change for whatever reason,” said Garth Brooks.

The tickets were $25.00 (plus a $2.50 user fee and $5.00 service charge) with 100% of the proceeds going to the Community Foundation Tennessee Flood Relief.

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

"Music has never been ultimately about competition,” Taylor said while accepting Artist of the Year. “And to even be mentioned in a category with Michael Jackson, who we will miss and love forever, is an unimaginable honor. I just want to say that I'm sending my love to the Jackson family, and to
