Brantley Gilbert will be getting married later this month to his fiancé, Amber, but until then he’s staying busy out on the road, playing some of his own dates and also joining Kenny Chesney for The Big Revival Tour. Fortunately, since it’s summertime and Amber is a school teacher, she’s able to join Brantley on the road and travel with him on his bus.
Brantley, whose latest single, “One Hell of an Amen,” is in the top 15 right now, says “One thing that I did notice early on that I was really excited about was one of the first times she rode the bus she already had her bus legs, like she wasn’t falling all over the place and you know she didn’t get like motion sickness from being in the bus. She does good on a bus she enjoys it. She sleeps better on the bus than she does at home. She’ll sleep twelve hours on this thing.”
The happy couple plans to continue riding the tour bus together after the wedding. Brantley says, “She’ll be with me a good bit on this tour.”
