Brantley Gilbert sees a lot of interesting things when he’s up on stage performing, including plenty of signs, some of which make him laugh, but he admits the one thing that can be a real distraction are the beautiful women. Brantley says, “There’s absolutely gorgeous girls all over this country (and) it’s definitely entertaining. It’s not a bad thing.”
Speaking as a single guy, the “Small Town Throwdown” singer says, “I got a special place in my heart for bikinis and Daisy Dukes and fair and festival season. I mean, God bless them little girls, you know what I mean? Good God almighty. And that’ll distract a man during a show worse than the sign. You damn near fall in love up there.”
Brantley has a few more fairs and festivals to play this summer before he launches the second leg of his Let It Ride Tour on September 19th in Austin, Texas.

Brantley Gilbert – bikinis :27
“There’s absolutely gorgeous girls all over this country, even outside of this country. But really, this is my jam. But it’s definitely entertaining. It’s not a bad thing. Like I said, I got a special place in my heart for bikinis and Daisy Dukes and fair and festival season. I mean, God bless them little girls, you know what I mean? Good God almighty. And that’ll distract a man during a show worse than the sign. You damn near fall in love up there.”
