Brantley Gilbert just released his brand new single, “Stone Cold Sober,” and he’s getting a chance to play it live for his fans all across the country on his own tour dates and on stadium dates with Kenny Chesney as part of The Big Revival Tour. While Brantley gets to stand on stage every night at get the applause and credit for his show, he’s quick to point out that there is a lot of hard work that goes on behind the scenes by a lot of hard working people every night.
“As far as my stage crew goes and the guys that design our stage set, in the past and for this tour they always come up with something to blow my mind,” says Brantley. “It’s always a blast; the stages are always fun to play on. And knowing that some of these guys are my buddies from back home that worked themselves into jobs that they’re really building the stuff on stage and it’s just…It’s awesome to see all of it go up and the process and all the hard work that they put in. These guys are the first ones off the truck and the last ones on it at night so; a lot of work goes into the stage set.”
“Stone Cold Sober” can be found on Brantley Gilbert’s Just As I Am Platinum Edition.
