Brantley Gilbert has had enough success in his career that he is filling up arenas all across the country with thousands of people, but he says, “My favorite place to perform is probably still the Georgia Theater.” Brantley recalls, “My goal in the music business was to sell that place out. It holds 900 people and it’s 20 minutes from my hometown. It actually burned down and we played a show right before it burned down and then when it reopened we played two nights there. Man, that’s the joint. That’s where it’s at.”
Brantley will kick off the North American leg of The Black Out Tour in January. As he heads into the holidays he’s watching his latest single, “Stone Cold Sober, “ climb the charts.
