United Stations has announced that Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood will jointly host its daily, weekday program “Backstage Country” to celebrate Garth’s birthday week, Valentine’s Day and the success of the couple’s emotional current single, “Shallow.”
Garth Brooks starts next week off with a birthday on February 7th, and Garth and Trisha will mark the occasion by hosting the 5-hour daily show from Monday February 8th through Friday the 12th.
Together, the pair will share their musical history, their personal stories and reflections and also talk candidly about the year we all just experienced and their positive outlook about the future. All of this will be capped by a theme of romance as the couple’s hosting week counts down to Valentine’s Day Weekend. The theme serves as no better time to share “Shallow,” Garth and Trisha’s latest hit at country radio, best-known from the film “A Star Is Born” and a release in response to overwhelming fan demand after the couple performed the track during a Facebook live performance. Working closely with to top programmers at Beasley Media whose seven country stations serve as the flagship affiliates, Backstage Country is assembled each week by a team at United Stations led by EVP/Programming Andy Denemark, Talent Relations Consultant John Shomby, Senior Talent/Content Producer Adrian Kulp and Technical Producer Mike Newman.
The addition of Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood enhance an already stellar year so far for Backstage Country in 2021. The year began with Morgan Wallen hosting for a week, the same week his new double-album shot to #1 on the Billboard charts. Morgan Wallen’s week of hosting was followed by programs anchored by Russell Dickerson, Kane Brown and Brett Young who each sat behind the microphone for a week leading up to the Garth and Trisha week which happens February 8-12. More major names are on board to host Backstage Country in the coming weeks and months.
Backstage Country gives listeners and affiliates an insider’s look at Country music as it is hosted by the stars of Country Music. Each Country artist who serves as host for the program will do so for an entire Monday through Friday week. The program is currently in just its fifth month on the air, and already the network broadcast has presented week-long programming hosted by Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean, Darius Rucker, Chris Janson, Chris Young, Kane Brown, Maren Morris, Morgan Wallen and more.
Each artist that serves as a guest-host has the opportunity to share their unique perspective on music, touring, events, the media and any other topic that inspires or matters to them as influencers and creators. The show now reaches dozens of cities around the U.S., and all seven (7) Beasley Media Group-owned Country stations have been on board as flagship affiliates since its launch.
