Garth Brooks Has New Music and A New Place To Play It

November is shaping up to be a very busy month for Garth Brooks, who announced a few things on Studio G last night (10/16).

Garth said of his third and final Limited Box Set, "Got new music coming out! So excited. This comes out – supposedly – Black Friday. But the truth is… it's Bass Pro and Cabela's, right? These guys are just hard-working people. They told us, 'As soon as you ship it, we'll put it on the shelves!' It could be as early as mid-November! They cannot wait."

He added, "It's got the whole new album in it!"

Also, next month, Garth will play a live Dive Bar show at the opening of his "Friends In Low Places Bar and Honky-Tonk" in downtown Nashville. His show there will be the day after Thanksgiving. He said of the new bar, "It's just a classic, good ol' Oklahoma honky-tonk for me playing country music,"

He continued, "There's themes everywhere in there. The bathroom in Friends In Low Places isn't just a bathroom. You'll see. Man, it's cool!"

Brooks concluded, "We are in the entertainment business, and our job is to make sure that you feel the time and money that you spent to get there – hopefully, you would do it again if you were offered the same chance."

Garth said last week (10/10) on Studio G, "I gotta tell you – when people go, 'What's your favorite thing – stadiums, arenas, whatever?' Dive Bars. Dive bars are stupid fun. And this one is going to be nuts!"

He added, "How do you open a Friends in Low Places bar? With a Garth concert! This is going to be off the chain: Black Friday, a brand new bar in the home of country music. Hollywood couldn't write a better script. I can NOT wait!"

When he announced plans for a bar in downtown Nashville in April, he said, "We feel very lucky to have the chance to be part of Lower Broadway, which is arguably THE hottest spot in the country. The goal is a classic honky-tonk that welcomes all and encourages love and kindness while playing the greatest music in the world in the home of Country Music!"

Garth Brooks is a country superstar that can command a stadium full of people in any city he plays, even though his last stadium tour is one that he says was his last. Now with his sites set on a Las Vegas "Garth Brooks / Plus One" at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace residency for the foreseeable future, Garth is celebrating his 61st birthday today (2/7).

Brooks chatted with fans on his weekly Studio G recently (1/9). He said, "I'll tell you right now, this will be the busiest year of our career." It's a big statement coming from a guy who's filled many years of his life on the road and in the studio. He added, "There are going to be so many things happening this year."

Later in the year, he and Trisha Yearwood are committed to a Habitat for Humanity building project on behalf of former President and First Lady Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. But what else does he have on tap? He does have his new downtown Nashville entertainment venue, Friends in Low Places. Brooks laughs, "This year, we get to open up, I hope."

Garth is also expecting to return to the recording studio this year. He offered, "The studio is going to be wide open this year. We're going to go in and just do a lot of things that probably never will see the light of day. But, to be honest with you, those are my favorite sessions." He added, "This'll probably be one of the heaviest years we've ever had 'cause everything's just coming around to an end or a beginning, which is cool."
