KJ FILMWORKS BEHIND THE SCENES – By Jack Quirk
A few years ago, a good friend also in the media business called and said, “I’m going to the Garth Brooks press conference in Tulsa, do you want to go?” Well that didn’t take much thinking! This was the kickoff event for his coming out of retirement world tour. We were one of the first ones at the venue and set up our gear. Before long, there were about 30 TV stations, photographers and writers lined up to see Garth. We were all given numbers so we could talk to him in order. Soon, Garth and his wife Trisha arrived, and started visiting with the media. This is my second time working with Garth. What sets him apart is that there is no barrier between him and the media. Garth and Trisha get toe to toe with you and answer every question truthfully, and they treat you like you’re their friend. He made sure everyone there got a t-shirt and tickets to the concert that night. Garth and Trisha are class acts.
