In addition to playing his own touring dates and performing his latest #1 single, “One Hell of an Amen,” Brantley Gilbert has been spending part of his summer on tour with Kenny Chesney on The Big Revival Tour. But it’s not just Kenny. Brantley says, “We’re out with Chesney and (Eric) Church and (Jason) Aldean, and man, I’m telling you, it’s always a good opportunity to check out what everybody’s doing and watch their shows.”
Brantley has definitely been paying attention and taking mental notes around Kenny because he says, “Chesney’s one of those superstars doing it for a long time. There’s just a lot to learn. We’re having fun with it.”
Next up, Brantley will join The Big Revival Tour on August 15th at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
