Brantley Gilbert has been blessed in many ways through his career, and he never takes for granted that as he has been blessed, he should work to bless others through his platform. He says, “I lost my grandfather to lymphoma cancer and one my best friends in the world to leukemia. Things like that, that punch you in the chest, it makes you wanna give back to that. Make somebody else’s experience a little better, if there’s any way to do that. It’s just an honor to have a platform to be able to shine light.”
Brantley is also a huge supporter of veterans, having organized events to raise money and awareness for Wounded Warrior Project. He just released his new single, “Stone Cold Sober,” off his Just As I Am Platinum Edition CD.
