Brantley Gilbert has always said he is an open book and doesn’t hold much back from his fans, so it’s not surprising that he doesn’t have any hidden talents. He says, “I really am kind of an open book and kind of a ‘what you see is what you get’ kinda guy. I don’t have any hidden talents like I can’t juggle, I can’t do card tricks.”
The “Small Town Throwdown” singer says he’s not even a card player when he gambles. When he does go to a casino Brantley says, “The only gamblin’ I do is roulette and I only pick red or black. Course that usually turns our pretty good for me, I got some good luck gamblin’. So far, knock on wood.”
