Garth Brooks: The Road I’m On

Brooks fundamentally transformed country music and what it meant to be a country artist when he launched his career in the early ’90s. From his internationally successful world tours and number one albums to changing attitudes about country music worldwide, his impact can still be felt today. This two-night special features in-depth conversations between Brooks and those closest to him such as Sandy his first wife; daughter Taylor; August and Allie his sons as well as his manager, fellow musicians and other influential people who helped shape his story.

Garth Brooks: The Road I’m On is produced by Endeavor Content’s Non-Scripted Division and Film 45 for A&E Network, under Michael Antinoro as executive producer and Matthew Goldberg and Will Staeger as co-executive producers for A&E.

This special chronicles the life and music of Brooks from his birth in Oklahoma through to his current prominence and significance in popular culture. Utilizing archive footage and new interviews with Brooks himself, this profile explores his complex personal life as well as what led to his success musically.

This program follows Brooks as he builds his musical career from humble beginnings, performing in bars and dives on the side. When his self-titled debut album by Capitol Records was released in April 1989, it quickly became both critically and commercially successful with hit songs such as “If Tomorrow Never Comes” and “The Dance.” By its time of release it had already earned platinum certification – eventually garnering him two ACM Awards (Song and Record of the Year respectively) as well as one Grammy Award (Best Country Album).

Brooks family was expanding, and he began spending more and more time with his children, eventually leading him to make the decision in 2000 to retire from music and focus on raising Taylor Mayne, August Anna and Allie Colleen – three daughters that would go on to form Scarecrow, his final studio album before becoming full-time fathers for over 10 years.

Brooks was an active supporter of numerous charities during his absence, most notably Teammates for Kids – which recruits professional athletes to donate money directly to organizations in their communities – as well as remaining actively involved with his co-founding of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society back in 1999.

In 2014, Brooks made headlines when he announced he was coming out of retirement and would release a new album and tour. Since then he has performed at arenas, theaters and stadiums – for the first time ever!

Time Traveler will hit US audiences across the United States in November 2019. Comprised of both a full-length concert film that will debut later in 2019, and additional material and previously unreleased tracks, Brooks was inspired to embark on this project by current country political climate and to keep telling country tales that are relevant in today’s modern age.

5 Tips For a Successful Concert Experience

Concerts can be an amazing way to spend time with your friends while listening to your favorite tunes. Though tickets may seem expensive, think of it as an investment that will create memories you won’t forget anytime soon – crowd energy creates an unforgettable atmosphere which cannot be replicated anywhere else! For experienced concertgoers or those new to concertgoing, here are a few key takeaways you should keep in mind for having the best experience.

Music has long been recognized for its ability to reduce stress levels and enhance mood. Attending live performances can be especially therapeutic as you feel the energy of the crowd while connecting with artists through their lyrics. Furthermore, concerts bring people together who may never otherwise meet, such as during 1985 Live Aid concert which united nations through music alone.

Planning a concert requires selecting performers that resonate with both your audience and event objectives, and who also fit locally so as to reduce travel costs and foster community connection between performers and audience members. Local talent often shares more in common with local communities, making for easier bonding between performers and viewers.

Concerts that feature up-and-coming musicians provide you with an opportunity to discover new music. Not only can these concerts give you access to sampling the new talent but they’re also great places to support local musicians by purchasing merchandise and attending shows!

An important rule when attending concerts is showing due respect to both performers and their music, including refraining from taking pictures or recording during performances – this will only become distracting to both musicians and their fans alike! Furthermore, being kind and polite to other attendees including staff and security guards should also be observed.

There have been many memorable concerts throughout history that have left their mark. Some moments are memorable because of incredible performances while others become known due to stampedes, explosions or acts of violence that take place at concerts – although these incidents are rare, they serve as a stark reminder that live events can be dangerous places.

Concert experiences vary, yet concerts offer an excellent way to connect with friends and enjoy music you love. Being immersed in thousands of others who all share similar interests is unparalleled – this sense of community contributes greatly to mental wellbeing and promotes a healthier lifestyle. Furthermore, sharing an artist you admire provides pride and happiness unlike anything found at home; thus making concerts an essential experience that every individual should try at least once in their life!

2024 Outlaw Music Festival

2024 saw the Outlaw Music Festival bring big names and big shows to cities all over the United States. While lineups can differ depending on where fans attend the concert, fans know they can always count on an extraordinary lineup of musicians providing them with an unforgettable concert experience that cannot be missed!

Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center served as an ideal starting point of this tour, located at the border between Ohio and Kentucky. This unique setting provided a fitting setting for this concert’s varied lineup that combined genres, generations, geographies and geological features. Waylon Payne kicked things off with a solo acoustic set featuring his distinctive style as a child of two country music artists while Avett Brothers provided an entertaining set featuring rock elements infused with bluegrass influences (such as their version of “Vanity”).

After seeing Willie Nelson & Family perform their opening acts, the crowd moved towards the main stage to witness Willie Nelson & Family take the stage for their inaugural performance of this tour. This iconic American musician is known for their classic songs as well as energetic performances that bring audiences together.

Following the first set, Nelson’s daughter Lurleen joined his band onstage for a duet that showcased her unique voice and ability to convey emotion through singing. Lurleen sang one of his most beloved tracks from “The Promise of a Rose Garden”, “Pretty Woman”.

Nelson launched into an expressive solo that concluded with the cheeky line, “It can be challenging being humble when you are as successful as me.

After their set at the 2023 Outlaw Music Festival tour’s encore performance, The Avett Brothers returned out for one last set of hits before closing it out with their cover of Bob Dylan’s “It’s All Right Now.” Their show served as a fitting way to mark Willie Nelson’s 90th birthday celebrations during this tour.

The Outlaw Music Festival is an annual touring music event that brings the best in outlaw country and Americana genres to various cities throughout the year. This year’s tour featured an incredible roster of legendary musical artists.

Jake Paul Vs. Mike Tyson Livestreamed by Netflix

Are you a fan of Mike Tyson or Jake Paul? Later this summer, fans will get the opportunity to see them fight each other in the boxing ring at AT&T Stadium – home of Dallas Cowboys – on July 20. Netflix will livestream the event, marking its first foray into live combat sports events.

According to a news release from Most Valuable Promotions co-founded by Paul, this fight will be produced. At 27 years old and with nine wins out of 11 including six knockouts he most recently defeated Ryan Bourland by first round TKO March 2. Paul boasts an imposing 76″ reach that places him among modern boxing’s highest reaching heavyweights.

Tyson has not competed since an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. ended in a split draw in November 2020, yet remains one of the most recognized figures in boxing history. Hailing from Ohio himself and currently living in Westlake suburb of Cleveland.

Paul and Tyson’s bout is certain to generate plenty of excitement, yet some may consider its hype to be excessive. Paul is currently ranked as a contender in the lightweight division and has received multiple honors and awards for his fighting style and professional growth as a boxer, including ESPNRingside’s 2021 Knockout of the Year honor.

Tyson may find it challenging to win this fight given his age of 58 and steadily approaching social security eligibility compared to Paul’s 27 years and three decades younger age. Without miraculous improvement in conditioning it would be hard for Tyson to come out victorious from this fight.

There are serious safety concerns over this fight. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, responsible for overseeing combat sports in Texas, has yet to make an announcement as to its plans for this match-up; additionally, MMA’s state governing body Professional Fighters Association is yet to decide if this match-up should go forward.

Even amid controversy surrounding this fight, ticket sales should go well. Tickets are already on sale with prices beginning at $50 for general admission and up to $1,500 for ringside seats. Early this week, heavyweight boxer Derek Chisora made claims about their bout which caused considerable outrage and controversy. But Nakisa Bidarian of Most Valuable Promotions swiftly refuted these statements as misplaced. Bidarian has confirmed that all safety measures will be in place and fighters will not need to wear headgear. As well as Tyson versus Tyson, an additional card featuring lesser-known boxers will take place the same night and can be watched via both Netflix and Ticketmaster apps – for more details click here or for additional sports coverage follow Dispatch Sportkeeda Blog on social media.

Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 Review

Monster Jam visits nearly one hundred stadiums and arenas annually, providing entertaining acrobatic shows featuring twelve-thousand pound vehicles like Bulldozer and Devastator with combat names such as Bulldozer.

Before each show, drivers prepare their trucks for freestyle competitions. Judged events allow two minutes for them to perform an array of jumps and tricks; fiberglass bodies break and axles fly – fans love this controlled chaos!

Racing

Monster Jam dazzles audiences with gravity-defying driving of 12,000-pound monster trucks driven by gravity-defying drivers. These monster trucks race, compete in two-wheel skills competitions and freestyle in front of full stadium audiences – owned and sanctioned by Feld Entertainment with USHRA as their official body governing it all. Furthermore, Feld Entertainment has made sure women participate – an uncommon occurrence among motorsports events where men usually hold physical advantages over female competitors.

Bigfoot, Grave Digger and El Toro Loco are some of the many iconic trucks that have become an integral part of world events. At first used as sideshows at events such as mud-bog events, tractor pulls and motocross races; after being noticed by an event promoter they began appearing at arenas as stars of their own events.

Two-Wheel Skills

Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 provides a satisfying gaming experience to fans of its series despite some repetition. Boasting 38 trucks and offering solid progression levels, it is well worth investing in for truck enthusiasts but those seeking a more diverse experience might benefit from waiting until post-launch price reductions occur.

Racing and freestyle competitions in this game provide drivers with opportunities to pit themselves against one another in various events. Racing follows a prescribed course with first trucks crossing the finish line advancing, while freestyle competitions challenge drivers to maneuver their trucks over ramps and junked cars while spectators score them using an app on smartphones.

The game’s world career mode offers a good variety of content, such as head-to-head races and circuit racing against multiple opponents; rallying it from point to point in an attempt to reach all waypoints first; however, various issues from wonky physics to unreliable framerates hinder its potential fulfillment.

Freestyle

At freestyle events, drivers have two minutes (or one and a half for arena shows) to showcase their ability to drive over junked cars, crush them and perform stunts with their trucks. Fans vote on which truck they like best via a score tracking website and the winner is determined by how many points their driver earns – an approach which has led some critics to view freestyle as simply entertainment rather than technical racing; however, recent emphasis on using allotted time and bonuses for avoiding crashes has helped disprove that idea.

Brianna Mahon, who drives Whiplash in Monster Jam events, embodies this trend. A former professional motocross racer, she leverages both aspects of her personality to compete effectively at Monster Jam events.

Monster Jam shows can be extremely loud. Make sure you bring along some form of hearing protection. Also don’t forget about the Monster Jam Pit Party included with your event ticket – it could come in handy!

Safety

Monster truck drivers and spectators both deserve the utmost safety during shows, so all trucks come equipped with kill switches allowing staff to temporarily turn off the engine during performances. Drivers also wear fireproof suits, molded seats, five-point harnesses and helmets for added protection.

Monster Jam trucks are designed to take extreme leaps, so absorbing any sudden shock upon landing is of utmost importance. To do this, their suspension system consists of four-link suspensions in front and back equipped with nitrogen-charged remote reservoir air shocks for smooth landings.

Before each event, all trucks must undergo a comprehensive safety inspection and attend a briefing from USHRA — now owned by Feld Motorsports — the independent sanctioning body for Monster Jam racing that ensures all trucks meet specified safety and performance standards.

At most venues, children two and under attend for free as long as they sit on the lap of an adult. Otherwise, tickets are required. Furthermore, Pit Party activities and all post-show events require tickets as well.

Oliver Hazard Band

Oliver Hazard Band is one of those musicians you’ll immediately fall in love with when listening to them for the first time. Their music is deeply emotive, their lyrics perfectly encapsulating human experience. With each release they push the limits of Folk Rock further – no exception for their latest single, which blends soft instrumentals with soothing harmonies for an experience folk enthusiasts will adore. Lyrically as well, as this tune depicts fear and strength needed when embarking upon relationships.

Oliver Hazard is an indie folk trio from Waterville, OH led by Michael Belazis, Griffin McCulloch and Devin East. Their story can be best explained as an online version of classic band mythos; three friends met after Mike returned home from leading camping trips in California and asked his two hometown friends for assistance in writing songs in his kitchen. Through winning a Facebook raffle for studio time they recorded 34 N River as their debut LP in one sitting; this release garnered them millions of streams as well as slots at Bonnaroo and Mountain Jam festivals!

The trio has continued to build on this grassroots story by opening for bands such as Mt. Joy, The Band Perry, America and The War & Treaty while hosting their own annual music festival in Waterville. To give fans more of an in-person experience of the band they have initiated a tour called the Living Room Tour; where fans can submit applications through their website to host them in their homes for shows of 50 people or less and retain all proceeds from ticket sales for that performance – much like coffeehouse performances which also allows all proceeds back into their collective coffers!

Oliver Hazard Day is an annual music festival hosted by the band that brings artists from around the country together with locally produced craft beer for an evening of amazing live music and craft beer brewed on site. Oliver Hazard Day provides them with a platform to give back to Waterville after all it has done for them! This gives the band a way to honor its roots while giving back to a town which has provided so much support and celebrate roots alongside community.

If you want to see Oliver Hazard perform live, they are currently on tour with Houndmouth and returning home this summer for Oliver Hazard Day, their annual music festival that benefits their local community. Don’t miss this exciting show – check out Oliver Hazard’s website or Spotify playlists for details.

Randy Feltface – Australian Puppet Comedian

Randy Feltface, better known by his nickname of just Randy, has made quite an impression in comedy circles around the world. His fame can be found at Edinburgh Fringe Festival where his performances sold out; audiences worldwide also love watching his shows as part of Sammy J and Randy, voiced and puppeted by Heath McIvor.

Randy’s comedy typically revolves around making absurd claims about himself and the way he interacts with people, often embellishing these accounts to fit the narrative. Randy often fabricates stories regarding his sexual history or relationships with other performers – in other words, making up tales about them! In addition to being an amazing comedian, Randy Feltface is also an accomplished actor and musician.

He has appeared on television show Good News World and numerous sketch shows on Australian radio, as well as creating and performing his own comedic content; writing and performing many full length solo stand up shows himself; as well as co-creating musical comedy shows with Sammy J including Ricketts Lane and Bin Night (for which they won an award).

Randy Feltface also performs alongside Sammy J as part of Australian comedy duo Sammy J and Randy. Together they have debuted two full-length shows at Melbourne International Comedy Festival; Ricketts Lane won them the Barry Award and earned them an appearance at Sydney Opera House; their second show Bin Night was critically and commercially well received; both shows received Sydney Opera House performances as well. Furthermore, Sammy J and Randy have appeared on various Australian television programs like Q&A and Good News World.

These two have produced various music videos and short films together, many of which can be found on the popular comedy site Funny or Die.

While most of his stories revolve around Randy’s romantic misadventures, Feltopia offers him the chance to poke fun at inconsistencies and absurdities within his life. For instance, in one episode, Randy jokes about running for president in 2024 despite America’s constitution only permitting citizens to run; his logic being that some parts of his body were made here!

There are other recurring jokes in Randy’s act which address his overblown sense of self-importance, naivete and gullibility. For instance, he often makes subtle digs at how much money he earns for performances and how he could rip off other comedians more easily if only he were rich enough. Furthermore, during one bit he describes accidentally running over his date’s guinea pig without killing it because as a vegan he cannot stand to see animals suffer; later stomping hard while telling stories or being distracted by shiny objects in the audience.
