Country music supercouple Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood are starring in a new docuseries for Amazon Prime Video, titled ‘Friends in Low Places.’
Brooks, 62, shared in a press release: “This was so much more than I bargained for! 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.” Yearwood, 59, added: “We started down this road fueled by passion, dedication, and a shared vision. 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. It’s even bigger than we dreamed!”
‘Friends in Low Places’ follows Brooks, Yearwood and friends “as they set out to build the ultimate oasis, a honky-tonk in the heart of Nashville.” An official synopsis reads: “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. 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.”
In a teaser for the docuseries, Brooks, 62, explained how he wanted the bar to capture the feeling of his live shows: “When you walk into Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk you’re in that stadium show, you’re at that dive bar. Try and remember, at the Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk, there’s the construction of it, but there’s also the building of the entertainment. That’s what a bar and honky-tonk is. At the same time, these people that come to a Garth Brooks spot, they expect what they see at a Garth Brooks concert, and so you bring in the best of the best, which also happens to be that family that you’ve been touring the world with for the last three decades.”
