Garth Brooks Hints At New Music On ‘Inside Studio G’

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

Garth Brooks was back with another edition of “Inside Studio G,” and right off the bat he got fans excited by promising, “we’ve got a lot of catching up to do.”

Garth gave fans an update about his newly-renovated studio, saying it sounds great and “performed well,” sharing “getting to make new music in it was great.” As for when fans will hear that new music, Garth would only say that they hope to have it out “soon,” but then got more specific, estimating it will drop in the “next six weeks.”

Garth also answered a bunch of questions from fans, including one where he was asked why he doesn’t star in videos anymore, and Garth admitted it was because of vanity. Garth offered, “I don’t like what I look like on film,” although he said he’s going to “get back in front of a camera…really soon.”

Finally Garth talked some more about Rodeo Houston, calling the opening night “phenomenal,” and sharing that he’s nervous about the closing Rodeo on Sunday, noting “I might have to bring out a special guest or two to try and top that one.”

Several country stars are showing their strength as part of the USO’s new Flex 4 Forces campaign, which brings attention to the USO’s mission of keeping service members connected to family, home and country. The campaign calls on the public to demonstrate appreciation to service members and their families by striking a biceps flex and sharing it on social media using the hashtag #Flex4Forces. That person can then nominate four additional people to flex next, much like the Ice Bucket Challenge did in 2014 to bring awareness to ALS.

 

  • Tim McGraw flexed his muscles for the campaign over the weekend, nominating NFL great Brett Favre to take the challenge next. Favre then flexed his stuff and nominated Garth Brooks, who posted a gym selfie showing off his big guns. Garth, in turn, nominated tennis player Serena Williams to take the challenge next.
