Brantley Gilbert has spent a lot of his New Year’s Eves working, so he’s never had to think about making plans, but this year he’s not working and he says, “I’d kinda like to lay a little low, that would mean the most to me, and really just enjoy some downtime.” But Brantley, whose new song, “One Hell of an Amen,” is just starting its climb up the charts says, “I may raise a little hell, ‘cause that’s me, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.”

Brantley Gilbert – New Year’s Eve :24
“You know, in the recent past, we’ve played a lotta shows on New Year’s Eve and that’s always a good time. You know I’m at home there. I don’t know what we’re gonna do this year. I’d kinda like to lay a little low, that would mean the most to me, and really just enjoy some downtime. I may raise a little hell, ‘cause that’s me, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.”
