Garth & Trisha’s CBS Coronavirus Concert Special

Fox News reported that Brooks and Yearwood performed the concert right from the recording space that they refer to as Studio G, which is located at their home.

CBS got the idea to air the one-hour long concert after seeing the couple’s home performances streamed on Facebook last month.

“This is about requests and getting to play music and to be together — apart — if that makes sense,” Brooks said of the event, according to USA Today.

“Every penny that they’re doing for this is going to go to fight (on) the COVID-19 front line,” Brooks said. “They’re putting their lives on the line so the rest of us can survive.”

During the concert special, Brooks performed his hit song “When You Come Back to Me Again” before teaming up with his wife of 14 years to perform songs like Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” and Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s “Shallow” from A Star is Born.

Since the couple was taking requests live, they even sang songs for the very first time. Like the multi-platinum hit “Girl Crush” by Little Big Town. After wrapping the song Yearwood commented, “I had never sung that one before.”

Brooks and Yearwood also made sure to pay tribute to first responders who are going above and beyond to protect us right now.

“In regular-bad times, it’s military in the front line,” Brooks said. “And now it’s all the doctors, nurses, volunteers — all those people on the front line. We love you guys. You have all of our strength and all of our prayers.” 

“We all know somebody who’s a first responder,” Yearwood added. “This is something that affects us all. It’s scary but there’s also a comfort in knowing we all in this together and we will get through it.” 

The couple closed things out by performing “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” from The Wizard Of Oz. 

“This is about hope,” Yearwood said. “That’s why I love that song so much.”
