Country singers speaking out.

TENN.» On Monday NASHVILLE, night, Garth Brooks wiped a tear from his eye as he talked about Saturday's March for Our Lives rally, the student-led demonstrat­ion demanding an end to mass shootings and action from Congress to stop gun violence. And he urged people to participat­e.

While lots of A-list celebritie­s have supported the march, Brooks' statement stands out. Nashville stars typically avoid sharing their thoughts about gun-related issues.

But Brooks' comments show how some country singers are starting to speak out, even if they don't say anything political or even mention the word “gun.”
