CURRENT SINGLE: “Hard Days”
Brantley Gilbert has often said he is the “what you see is what you get guy.” He’s pretty genuine, authentic and down to earth, and he credits a lot of that to the people he surrounds himself with at home in Georgia. “At home, there’s folks there that have known me my whole life,” says Brantley, “and most of my friends are 15, 20 years older than I am. A lot of ‘em are old bikers, and they’re guys that just hold me accountable for who they know I am, and that’s worth its weight in gold to me.”
Besides his old biker buddies, Brantley’s family and his wife, Amber, whom he has known for over 15 years, all help make sure he doesn’t get wrapped up in the trappings of fame. “In the business we’re in, it’s easy to get tied up with things sometimes,” acknowledges Brantley, but I feel like home keeps me grounded and the people at home keep me grounded.”
If you ever get a chance to spend some time around Brantley, then you know his friends and family have done a great job at keeping him humble and down to earth.
