They write, When we set out together almost 14 years ago, we named our band after the southern “antebellum” style home where we took our first photos. As musicians, it reminded us of all the music born in the south that influenced us…Southern Rock, Blues, R&B, Gospel and of course Country. But we are regretful and embarrassed to say that we did not take into account the associations that weigh down this word referring to the period of history before The Civil War, which includes slavery.
Garth Brooks will stage what will be the largest ever one-night show to play at outdoor theaters across the U.S. and Canada!
Garth announced plans to stage a concert event at 300 drive-in theaters across North America on one night – June 27, and the show will be created exclusively for this once-in-a-lifetime event.
He said, “I’ve missed it so much. All I want to do is play!”
Tickets for Garth’s drive-in concert event will go on sale Friday, June 19. This is where you’ll be able to find drive-in theaters in the area. It will cost you $100 per car or truck. You can get more details at Ticketmaster.
