Brantley Gilbert (born Brantley Keith Gilbert, January 20, 1985) is an American country‑rock singer, songwriter, and record producer from Jefferson, Georgia. Known for a gritty blend of Southern rock, hard‑edged country, and blue‑collar storytelling, he emerged in the late 2000s with a songwriting‑first approach shaped by personal adversity and Southern roots.
Beyond his own catalog, Gilbert is a respected songwriter, notably co‑writing Jason Aldean ’s crossover anthems “My Kinda Party” and “Dirt Road Anthem.” His music consistently reflects themes of faith, redemption, loyalty, and Southern identity, securing his place as one of country’s most rugged and loyal fan‑bases in modern touring country rock.
In 2026, Brantley Gilbert remains firmly on the road with a sprawling North American run as part of The Tattoos Tour , supporting his latest studio work while headlining his own shows and appearing at major festivals. The tour stretches from May through early September 2026, with dense routing across the Midwest, South, Northeast, and Mountain West.
