He will share his experiences listening to different musicians throughout his life, starting with the music of Merle Haggard and George Jones. Then, other musicians who influenced him like Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, Otis Redding, Bob Seger, George Strait and many, many, more. Throughout the show, Garth will perform some of their classic songs and show you how they influenced his greatest hits."
Brooks, also spoke about the setlist selection, adding:
"'Blame it all on my roots. 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."
Meanwhile, Brooks' website, garthbrooks.com, features a new section marked with four question marks. Many are speculating that the showman’s cryptic message will be an announcement that officially ends his retirement.
