Garth Brooks

Are you a fan of Garth Brooks? Today the country music superstar turns 52! He was born Troyal Garth Brooks in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Troyal Raymond Brooks, Jr. and Colleen McElroy Carroll. Garth’s integration of rock elements into his recordings and live performances earned him immense popularity. This approach helped him dominate the country music scene and crossover into the mainstream. With record breaking sales, Garth is one of the most successful and best selling artists of all time.

Did you catch him last night on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno? The music artist helped the late night talk show host bid farewell with a live performance on Leno’s final show.
