GARTH BROOKS CONCERT TO BE SIMULCAST LIVE TO

EMPIRE THEATRES ON NOVEMBER 14




October 24, 2007 - For one night in November, fans of Garth Brooks will have 
the opportunity to see the legendary performer, with special guest Trisha 
Yearwood, at a venue just minutes from their homes.  On Wednesday, November 
14th, Brooks will play his final concert in a sold-out series of nine, 
originating from the brand new Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.  The 
concert will be simulcast live to

24 Empire Theatres locations, in association with National CineMedia's 
FATHOM.  The performance is being presented by Sprint, and captured and 
distributed by Horse of Troy Productions Inc., Jon Small/Picture Vision and 
AEG Network LIVE.



"It's things like this that make me praise technology.  The gift that AEG 
and participating theatres have given me is to be able to go on a virtual 
tour without leaving home.  How does it get any better than that?" said 
Garth Brooks.



All tickets will be priced at $10 plus tax and are on sale now. 
Participating theatre locations, additional information and online ticket 
purchasing is available at www.empiretheatres.com.



Tickets to the concert at Sprint Center sold out immediately when they went 
on sale.  An additional eight shows were added and a total of 159,779 
tickets were sold in one hour and 58 minutes, tying Brooks' own personal 
record for selling the highest number of tickets in any city in North 
America.



"We know that there are huge Garth Brooks fans from St. John's to Vancouver 
and we are excited to be bringing this unbelievable event to Canadians coast 
to coast. The energy at our theatres when he hits the stage will be 
explosive," said Dean Leland, vice president of Marketing and Media for 
Empire Theatres.



"Garth Brooks' fans have been waiting for this night for a long time and we're 
excited to bring this extraordinary event to movie theatres in local 
communities nationwide and in Canada," said Dan Diamond, vice president of 
National CineMedia's Fathom. "For many, seeing Garth in the theatres may be 
their only chance to see this remarkable performer in action."



"No artist today means more to his millions of fans worldwide than Garth 
Brooks," said Timothy J. Leiweke, president and CEO, AEG.  "Whether you 
experience the concert in Sprint Center or in one of the theatres, it will 
truly be one of the great nights of music ever experienced."



Brooks, who hasn't toured since 1998, made country music history in 
September when his new single, "More Than a Memory," debuted at Number One 
on Billboard's Country Singles chart.  Garth Brooks "The Ultimate Hits" will 
be available in all stores where music is sold on November 6th.

Collin Raye records Canyon co-write, "Quitters"



Monday, October 22nd, 2007 - George Canyon's song, "Quitters," covered by 
Arkansas singer Collin Raye, has just been released as a focus track to 
radio in the United States, and is receiving some airplay in Canada.

Co-written by George with Neil Thrasher and Wendell Mobley, "Quitters" is 
part of a six-track CD titled Selected Hits, released by Starpointe Records 
(Anderson Merchandising), that features four of  Raye's hits backed by the 
Salt Lake Symphony Orchestra and two new songs, "Soldiers Prayer" and 
"Quitters."  www.collinraye.com.

Canyon recorded "Quitters" for his 2006 album Somebody Wrote Love and 
performed this emotionally charged song at the nationally televised East 
Coast Music Awards the same year.



"Quitters wasn't released as a single from the album but it has always been 
one of my favourite songs" says Canyon.  "Collin's treatment of this really 
hits home. I'm so happy that he chose to record the song. It has a message 
that is important."



"Quitters" tells the story of a wheelchair bound child who has dreams being 
able to walk and run again. The song struck a chord with Raye who has a 
grandchild with special needs.


 "These children have the hearts of lions, even if they can't talk to us 
verbally," says Raye, "You can see the courage and determination in their 
faces and actions. I think this song speaks for many of them.  It is an 
honour for me to record such a powerful message."

Canyon is currently on tour promoting his current album Classics, (Universal 
Music Canada), which is a tribute to his songwriting heroes of the 60's and 
70's. Today, Classics is the most downloaded country album on Itunes Canada, 
and is the top selling Canadian country album according to last week's 
Soundscan figures.

31st Annual BCCMA's From Canada

Recently the nominations for the 31st Annual BCCMA's were announced. 
Kamloops native - ART PRUCE received two nominations in the following 
categories:  SOCAN SONG OF THE YEAR - Take's Me Back To Yesterday and for 
ALBUM OF THE YEAR - Wish I Could Go.

The awards will take place on October 28th at the Red Robinson Showcase 
Theater in Coquitlam, British Columbia.

Following the festivities in Coquitlam, Art will be performing at The West 
Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta on the Newcap Stage from November 7th 
through to November 11th from 12:00pm to 4:30pm as part of the National 
Rodeo festivities in Edmonton.

Back in September Art was invited to take part in the Songwriter's Cafe at 
Canadian Country Music week in Regina.  The reviews were glowing - this is a 
sample of what people had to say after Art's performance at the Songwriter's 
Cafe:
Gary Fjellgaard (Singer / Songwriter) - "It was a pleasure sharing the stage 
with Art Pruce at the Songwriter's Cafe song circle during the CCMA's in 
Regina.  His presentation, acoustic sound and his songs were very well 
crafted."
Bruce Woytuik (Events Manager, Songwriter's Cafe) - "Songwriters Cafe at the 
CCMA's is about the music and the people that make it.  Every year a 
non-established artist seems to come out of nowhere and create a buzz with 
their performance.  This year it was ART PRUCE that had the crowd buzzing. 
When a young singer / songwriter can impress the likes of Gary Fjellgaard 
and Tim Taylor who were sharing the stage with him, you have to think Art's 
on the right track.  When Ralph Murphy pulls him aside and says - "You're 
good, you're really good", you know Art's on the right track.

Art recently released his latest single "Believe" to radio and is beginning 
to pick up airplay coast to coast.

Jeff Griffith's Debut CD, IF IT AIN'T ONE THING IT'S ANOTHER, In Stores 
Today



"This guy has everything needed to become a 'super-star'."  Bill Mack, XM 
Satellite



Nashville, TN (October 30, 2007) - Texan Jeff Griffith'sdebut CD, IF IT 
AIN'T ONE THING IT'S ANOTHER, hits store shelves today.  Released on 
Arrowhead Records, the disc was produced by country legend, Joe Stampley, 
who calls Griffith, "the best natural country voice I've ever heard."



Griffith's current single, "I'm Your Radio," holds the #43 spot this week on 
the Music Row Chart, and caught the ear of legendary tastemaker Robert K. 
Oermann (Music Row) who says, "He's got one of those ultra-warm country 
baritones that have always made this format sound so special. The lyric is 
extremely well crafted. I particularly liked the lines asking the familiar 
questions, 'Are you loving? Are you laughing? Are you leaving?'"



Gigging and radio promo stops have kept Griffith on the move.  In-store 
visits and print features are in the works.  In the meantime, check out Jeff 
and his music at:  www.MySpace.com/jeffgriffith  and www.jeffgriffith.net .

overwhelmingly cloy." - Buzz McClain / INDULGE
