Brantley Gilbert knows that tomorrow is no guarantee. Just over five years ago the talented singer and songwriter was ignoring his deepest ambition of becoming a country singer and was just going through the motions of everyday life. It wasn’t until a nearly-fatal car accident that Brantley opened his eyes, realized the importance of living each day to the fullest, and decided to pursue his love for music as a career.
Brantley Gilbert was born and raised in the small town of Jefferson, Georgia, just outside of Athens city limits. It is that upbringing and small town influence Brantley credits toward allowing him to cultivate his unique sound. With well-known rock bands REM and the B-52’s having roots nearby, Brantley’s taste in music always swayed toward a rock feel, but his true-to-life testimony of heartache, trials, triumph, and success found a home in country music.
After taking the stage night-after-night with just his guitar and opening for other country artists throughout the southeast, Brantley Gilbert began to notice familiar faces in the crowds. A group of believers who shared Brantley’s passion for life and music had developed, and pretty soon the following had taken on a life of its own. Brantley quickly realized that his acoustic shows—however intimate—didn’t satisfy his audience’s thirst for his rock-infused country music. In order to meet their demand, Brantley formed a band. “We went from these acoustic shows to a bona fide country-rock-soul show that is wide-ass open,” says Gilbert. “Even when we play a ballad it’s high energy.” With the fans demanding new music from Brantley, he came to Nashville, Tennessee where he soon signed with Warner Chappell Publishing and began to develop music for a debut album release.
One of his songs, “The Best of Me,” was recorded by Jason Aldean and earned a spot on his latest album, WIDE OPEN. Since then, Brantley Gilbert has signed a record deal with Average Joe’s Entertainment and collaborated with top-charting act and label mate Colt Ford to write and record, “Dirt Road Anthem,” which is currently featured on Ford’s multiple-week Top 25 Billboard album, RIDE THROUGH THE COUNTRY. “I’ve realized that life can be very short, and everyone should take advantage of it,” he said. “If you’re gonna live, do something with it. Make it great.”
And great it is. Brantley Gilbert celebrated a national album release in 2009 with A MODERN DAY PRODIGAL SON which features hit singles, “G.R.I.T.S.” and “Whenever We’re Alone.” Brantley Gilbert is only 27 but already has an impressive list of country music industry awards. Brantley was most recently nominated for the 2012 ACM New Artist of the Year after earning his first nomination in the Song of the Year category at the 2011 CMA Awards. His sophomore project, the gold-certified HALFWAY TO HEAVEN DELUXE, debuted at #2 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and produced two gold, #1 singles, “Country Must Be Country Wide,” and “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do.” As a celebrated songwriter, Brantley Gilbert has also written three #1 hits – “My Kinda Party,” “Dirt Road Anthem,” and “Country Must Be Country Wide.”
Brantley Gilbert started his first headlining tour in September 2012.
