Swing to the Beats of Garth Brooks with TICKETFINDER.com™
Think country music and the first name that comes to mind is that of Garth Brooks. Since 1989, he has been giving one hit record after another and making fans dance to his one-of-a-kind tunes. Today, Brooks is one of the most beloved performers in the history of American popular music and a genuine superstar. The country star is back on stage to deliver, what many fans consider, the best concerts you have ever seen.
Born on February 7, 1962, Garth Brooks, successfully integrated pop and rock elements into his recordings and live performances. He soon began to dominate the country singles and country album charts and quickly crossed over into the mainstream pop arena, exposing country music to a larger audience than previously thought possible.
The rise to stardom
In 1989, Garth Brooks released his eponymous first album which was an instant critical and chart success. It peaked at #2 in the U.S. country album chart and reached #13 on the Billboard 200 pop album chart. Most of the album was traditionalist country. His follow-up album ‘No Fences’, was released in 1990 and spent 23 weeks as #1 on the Billboard country music chart. The album also reached #3 on the pop chart and eventually become Brooks’ highest-selling album, with domestic sales of over 16 million records. Brooks’ signature song ‘Friends in Low Places’, ‘The Thunder Rolls’ and the philosophically ironic ‘Unanswered Prayers’ are a part of ‘No Fences’.
Brooks was immensely influenced by Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen, which encouraged him to experiment with their music styles as well. This resulted in even more success and recognition coming his way. By the end of the 90s, Garth Brooks had become an icon, a status which he enjoys till date. Throughout the 1990s he broke records for both sales and concert attendance.
Brooks’ soft side

The foundation enlists players to donate a predetermined sum of money depending on their performance. Brooks has participated in spring training for the San Diego Padres in 1998 and 1999, the New York Mets in 2000 and most recently with the Kansas City Royals in 2004 to promote his foundation.
