Now that Brantley Gilbert’s family is growing, he’s expecting Thanksgiving to be a busy time of year. Brantley says, “Thanksgiving this year is gonna be a little crazy. I’m engaged now, so I’ve got the fiancée’s family and my family, and gettin’ us all together is gonna be interestin’. Bein’ in town and havin’ time to stay at this place and still have time to go somewhere and eat. We’re still in the process of figurin’ that out.”
No matter where he and his fiancée celebrate or how many stops that have to make, Brantley will be incredibly grateful this Thanksgiving. “Regardless of where we throw it, I have so much to be thankful for this year,” he says. “God’s really been good to me and blessed me more than I could ever imagine.”
Brantley just released his new single, “One Hell of an Amen,” and he will be hosting a Thanksgiving Throwdown the day after Thanksgiving, November 28th, at the Gwinnett Center, in his home state of Georgia.
