Garth Brooks has been gradually returning to the stage since his retirement in 2001 to raise his girls.  Last year he started performing intimate shows at the Wynn Las Vegas, but after seeing the flooding issues here in Nashville last May, Garth felt he needed to do something to help all his friends and associates here in Middle Tennessee.  Kelly caught up with him to talk about his recent return to the stage at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena last month.

Film crews were all over Nashville the last year working on a movie starring Gwyneth Paltrow and country star Tim McGraw.  Lots of our Nashville friends are included in this movie, too.  The movie finally opened nationwide this month to great reviews, and we had an opportunity to hear all about the movie from the big stars.

Ken Domash certainly didn't set out to become a country artist.  As an architect with his own firm in St. Louis, Ken was quite satisfied with his life until the music bug bit.  Now he's got a grass-roots campaign to get him on your radio dial by visiting hundreds of radio stations across the country.  We had a chance to catch up with Ken to see how a successful architect transitions to a rising country star.
