Garth Brooks will perform a rare live broadcast concert special, GARTH BROOKS, LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS, from the Encore Theater at the Wynn Las Vegas, Friday, Nov. 29 (9:00 – 11:00 PM LIVE ET/ delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network. This television concert event will feature Brooks’ final performance of his one-man show at the Wynn Las Vegas, which has played to sold out audiences for the past three years.
Throughout the show, Brooks will share his experiences listening to different musicians throughout his life, starting with the music of Merle Haggard and George Jones. Throughout the show, Garth will perform classic songs from his favorite artists and show viewers how they influenced his greatest hits.
“Blame it all on my roots,” said Brooks, “This is the soundtrack of my life. Growing up the last of six kids, music was the life blood of our family and as you can imagine, mom, dad, and each kid had his or her own favorite stuff and it all funneled down to me.”
“We’re thrilled whenever we get the opportunity to create a television event with an amazing live performer, and there is no one better than Garth Brooks,” said Jack Sussman, Executive VP, Specials & Events. “Garth will give the audience a rare opportunity to not only hear his classic hits, but also the music that became the soundtrack of his life and how those influences from the country, rock and pop worlds set him on the road to become the biggest selling solo artist in history.”
In 2009, Brooks announced that he was out of retirement and entered a multi-year “relationship” with Las Vegas resort developer Steve Wynn for performances at his Encore Theatre at the Wynn Las Vegas.
