Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood will try to make staying inside a little more palatable with a live, televised concert this week.

"Garth & Trisha Live!" will air at 9 p.m. EST April 1 on CBS. During the event, Brooks and Yearwood will perform from their home recording studio – Studio G – that will involve a minimal crew practicing social distancing.

Last week, the couple nearly broke the Internet when more than 5.2 million tuned into their Facebook Live for a casual, at-home concert from Studio G.

Fans can check in with Brooks during his weekly Facebook Live Show on March 30, when he will share details about how views can make song requests for the special.

As well, Brooks, Yearwood and CBS are donating $1 million to charities to be determined.
