Garth Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood are like all of us; they're at home getting through the COVID-19 quarantine.

Brooks said he does enjoy one of life's most simple things, “I can’t tell you how much I love going to the grocery store. Now they have aisles that go one way and X’s on others so…people don’t have to cross each other. They have the lines, of course, at the checkout…they have stickers there saying, ‘Don’t take two or more of this’ because of this. Just beautiful stuff, man. And everybody’s…everybody’s being really sweet.”

They aren’t the only ones being sweet – so is Garth, as he looks ahead with hope to the moment he and others can return to the concert stage. He says, “You’re kind of up to what individual states govern…so we’ve got to follow the rules that they want, of course. But trust me – the second that they let us go, we’ll do it."

Brooks' stadium tour will resume when everything gets back to normal. His website notes that, as of now, the first date is scheduled to play out at Bank of America Stadium in on June 13.

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
