“If you come to Las Vegas, you’ll see Garth and a guitar. But when you come to Nashville in December you will see the band you know, you will see the light rig that you know, you will see the stage you know, and, hopefully, you will see the best Garth Brooks show you’ve ever seen,” he said, according to Reuters.

May’s flood caused more than $2 billion in damage in Nashville alone, and there was widespread damage throughout middle Tennessee.

Proceeds from the Dec. 17 concert will go to the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee to provide relief to families who are still struggling after the flood.

Special Section: Gulf Coast Oil DisasterStephen Baldwin suing Kevin Costner over BP dealKevin Costner pitches $895M oil spill plan Feldman asked the potential jurors whether the entertainers’ on-screen portrayals compromised the ability to deliver an objective verdict. No one in the pool said they would feel influenced. Among Baldwin’s roles was caveman Barney Rubble in “The Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas.” Costner’s films include “Dancing with Wolves,” “Field of Dreams,” and “JFK,” Oliver Stone’s film with New Orleans connections to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Baldwin and Costner did not interact before the proceedings started. Baldwin told The Associated Press his attorneys had advised him not to comment. Baldwin and his friend, Spyridon Contogouris, said they didn’t know about the deal when they agreed to sell their shares of Ocean Therapy Solutions, a company that marketed the centrifuges to BP, for $1.4 million and $500,000, respectively. (At left, watch Costner testify to Congress about the machine in 2010) Baldwin and Contogouris claim they were deliberately excluded from a June 8 meeting between Costner, his business partner Patrick Smith and BP executive Doug Suttles, who agreed to make an $18 million deposit on a $52 million order for the 32 devices, according to the lawsuit. Later that month, Costner and Suttles visited Port Fourchon, La., to talk about the plan to use the centrifuges. “It was designed to give us a fighting chance, to fight back the oil before it got us by the throat,” Costner said at the time. Baldwin and Contogouris say they were entitled to shares of BP’s deposit. Their lawsuit claims Costner and Smith schemed to use BP’s deposit buy their shares in Ocean Therapy Solutions. “Maybe one of the directions that Mr. Costner might go as a defendant in this case is that he had taken a great deal of risk as it relates to these machines,” legal analyst Chick Foret told WWL-TV. Costner said he didn’t attend a June 6, 2010, meeting at which Contogouris agreed to sell his OTS interests. “Not only did Costner not know that Plaintiffs were negotiating to sell their OTS interests, he was surprised and offended by the idea that Contogouris and Baldwin would walk away from OTS with almost $2 million in cash despite having invested no money in the company, and at a time when a contract with BP was uncertain to materialize,” says a court filing summarizing Costner’s version of events. Baldwin and Contogouris are seeking more than $21 million in damages. Costner and other defendants also are seeking damages in counterclaims.
