GARTH BROOKS ANNOUNCES NEW DATES AT WYNN LAS VEGAS

Over the last couple of years I’ve had some folks ask me what shows they should see in Vegas where they were headed. My first recommendation is to catch Garth Brooks’ uniquely entertaining one-man (if Trisha doesn’t appear with him) show. His charming mix of patter and monster hit songs is riveting, highly entertaining and not to be missed.
If you haven’t seen it you still have a chance to get tickets for the highly anticipated concerts are available for purchase through February 2012. They will go on sale Saturday, October 8 at 10 a.m. PT. Tickets are $225 plus tax and service charge and are available exclusively at Ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-877-65-GARTH.

Proceeds from the concerts will be made available as a scholarship for a student from a farming family attending a local college in each community where the shows are taking place.
