Garth Brooks Calls Vera Man to the Stage
Charlie Taraboletti
Vera man received a chance of a lifetime getting to share a song with Garth Brooks.
Brooks' invitation to the man to perform on stage at his concert is going viral, all thanks to a sign the man’s wife made.
For most of his life, Jonathan Chasteen has wanted to make it as a singer. He’s lived in Vera , even volunteering at the local fire department while performing in a family band. And it was at a hall across the street from his grandparents' house where he first began performing, It's a talent his wife wanted the whole world to see.
Fast forward to Friday night when a sign she was holding at a Garth Brooks concert in Oklahoma City caught the singer’s attention. Brooks asked Chasteen if he really wanted to play music because of him and the answer was yes, sir. That’s when Brooks invited the 28-year-old on stage. Not only did he perform with the country legend, but he got to keep the guitar.
The video has gone viral with more than 750,000 views on Facebook.
