Brantley Gilbert tries his best to give thoughtful gifts to people in is life at Christmas, but he admits, “I am probably the worst Christmas shopper on the planet. I don’t shop very well at all.” Brantley says he’ll put some effort into looking for actual gifts for his mom and dad and little brother, as many of his biker brothers as he can and the guys in his organization, but he says, “Other than that, man it’s gift cards all the way.”
This will be the first year Brantley will be spending Christmas with his new fiancée, so we’re sure he’ll be putting in some extra effort to find her something special for Christmas. Unfortunately he won’t have a ton of time to shop because he’ll be out on the road with his Let It Ride Tour through December 12th.
Brantley just released his new single, “One Hell of an Amen,” off his latest album, Just As I Am.
