Trisha Yearwood in Concert
West Point’s Eisenhower Hall Theatre will present three-time Grammy-winning country star Trisha Yearwood at 8 p.m. Come hear Trisha sing all her hits and music from her new CD, ‘Heaven Heartache and the Power of Love.’
Trisha’s first number-one single was “She’s in Love With the Boy,” released in 1991, followed by eight more number-one singles and nineteen-top ten singles! Over her career, she has released eleven albums, all of which went gold or platinum and received three Country Music Association honors. In addition to “She’s in Love With the Boy,” Trisha recorded such career-defining hits as “Perfect Love,” and “How Do I Live.” Ike Hall and Trisha Yearwood also welcome to the West Point stage special guest Lori McKenna.
For Trisha Yearwood, talent, dreams and determination are an intoxicating little cocktail. It’s a recipe that has served to propel a lithesome Georgia blonde from local honky-tonks to the world’s most prestigious stages. For her, there was never any other path but music. After all, a career in music has been Yearwood’s goal since she was five-years-old. “Most little kids ask Santa Claus for a doll or a bike for Christmas,” Yearwood related. “I was asking for a tape recorder because I wanted to hear my voice on tape. I have tapes of me singing when I was five or six. When I die, I’m sure somebody will find them, but not until then,” she says with a laugh.
Yearwood remembers getting a copy of Carole King’s classic ‘Tapestry’ album as a gift and recalls that vividly as a defining moment. Somewhere she began summoning the courage to pursue her dream. “When you are that age, especially in a small town where nobody does this for a living, people sort of say, ‘Oh that’s cute,’” the Monticello, Georgia native says. In her small community, declaring she wanted to be a country singer was tantamount to wanting to become the president of the United States. It seemed a lofty dream with little chance of reality, but Yearwood remained undaunted. “Some people at five or six-years-old already know what they want to be, and I did. That was the beginning, and the desire to do it just got stronger and stronger,” Yearwood summed up.
Three Grammy’s later Trisha Yearwood is happy. There’s a light in her smile, and buoyancy in her tone that’s undeniable and absolutely infectious. “It still amazes me that I make a living doing what I love to do,” Yearwood exclaims. “I don’t ever feel like it is work. I feel really grateful and blessed to get to do what I love. I love, love, love to sing!”
