Two piña coladas, please.
Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood are starring in a Prime Video reality series.
The married country music superstars will headline “Friends in Low Places,” documenting their quest to build their dream honky-tonk bar in Nashville called … Friends in Low Places.
The docuseries premieres March 7.
“Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood embark on their most personal journey yet to build the honky-tonk of their dreams in the heart of Nashville,” the streamer said in press materials about “Friends in Low Places,” which is named after Brooks’ hit 1990 song.
“Paying tribute to his roots, Garth enlists the help of his friends, day-one tour team and an all-star hospitality group to open the epic, four-story bar on Lower Broadway.
”This is a labor of love and his thank you to the community of Music City.”
“This is so much more than I bargained for!,” Brooks said in the release. “With that said, what we have built is far more than just a business.
“This is by far, the craziest ride I have ever been on.”
The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Casey Patterson Entertainment, with Brooks, Patterson and Carol Donovan serving as executive producers.
“We started down this road fueled by passion, dedication, and a shared vision,” Yearwood said. “I’m really proud of the team that has built the Friends Bar and Honky-Tonk.
“We are excited to share the culmination of everyone’s efforts,” she added. “It’s even bigger than we dreamed!”
Brooks and Yearwood are two of the biggest names in country music. The powerhouse couple — Brooks is 62, Yearwood is 59 — have been married since 2005.
Brooks has three daughters from his first marriage to songwriter Sandy Mahl (they divorced in 2001): Taylor Mayne Pearl, Anna and Allie Colleen Brooks.
The “Friends” assisting Brooks and Yearwood in building their dream establishment include brothers Benjamin and Max Goldberg — who are part of the family immersed in Nashville’s culinary and nightlife aspects, who oversee all aspect of the hospitality at Friends in Low Places.
Meanwhile, Jenny Deathride Bratt and Camille Tambunting are the leaders of Strategic Hospitality and the Goldberg brothers’ “got-to, boots on the ground team overseeing the Friends In Low Places build out,” according to the Prime Vide release.
Brooks has won a record 22 Academy of Country Music Awards (and has been nominated 47 times). He’s also won two Grammy Awards among many other honors (including Country Music Association Awards).
He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2012 and and is also a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
In 2020, Brooks was awarded the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song and, in 2021, he was named a recipient of the 43rd Annual Kennedy Center Honors.
Yearwood has won three Grammy Awards, three Country Music Association awards, an American Music Award — as Favorite New Country Artist in 1992 — and even a Daytime Emmy Award for her Food Network cooking series, “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen.”
She’s also written three best-selling cookbooks.
