CURRENT SINGLE: “Hard Days”
Brantley Gilbert has experienced a lot of success in his career, but the one major goal he had set for himself, he accomplished pretty early in his career, which was to sellout the Georgia Theater near his hometown Athens, Georgia. So, now, Brantley says, “I found myself making daily goals as opposed to long-term goals.”
Part of the reason he hasn’t set more long term goals is because Brantley says, “To be honest with ya, all the spotlight and all the attention wasn’t my goal, you know?”
For Brantley, at this point in his career, it’s all about the music. “I like writing music and I love playing shows and I love talking to people about songs – what they mean, what they do for people,” he says. “And I’ve seen what the power of a song is, and how it bridges gaps between cultures and just across the map in every facet of life. That’s where my passion is.”
Brantley’s current single, “Hard Days,” has definitely had an impact on a lot of people, with its message of getting through the hard days in life and being able to appreciate the good days that much more when you do.
Brantley Gilbert – never chased spotlight :38
“My goal in the music business was to sell out the Georgia Theater, and it happened really, really early. And everything since then, you know, I found myself making daily goals as opposed to long-term goals. To be honest with ya, all the spotlight and all the attention wasn’t my goal, you know? I like writing music and I love playing shows and I love talking to people about songs – what they mean, what they do for people. And I’ve seen what the power of a song is, and how it bridges gaps between cultures and just across the map in every facet of life. That’s where my passion is.”
