Brantley Gilbert
Brantley Gilbert will kick off his first shows in Europe with a performance at Glasgow’s Oran Mor tomorrow (March 15) and Manchester’s Club Academy Saturday (March 16). He will wrap the journey on Sunday (March 17) at London’s 02 Arena for the Country 2 Country Festival, which also features Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Vince Gill, Little Big Town and more.
Following his UK trip, Gilbert will continue overseas on his first USO tour. He will perform four concerts and meet with the military troops and their families. In addition, military ID holders who attend the Glasgow and Manchester shows will have the opportunity for an exclusive meet and greet with Gilbert.
“Man you know we sing about country being country wide, but we are taking it to the next level this time,” said Gilbert. “I’m excited to meet all of the country fans in Europe. We will have a blast… and performing for the troops… man I couldn’t be more excited about that. I have so much respect for what our service men and women do every day. To have the chance to perform for them while they are actively serving our country couldn’t make me more proud to have this opportunity.”
The Georgia native continually supports the military and recently partnered with RAM Trucks as part of its RAM JAM series, auctioning off his truck in support of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA). On Veteran’s Day he joined Musicians On Call at the Nashville Veteran’s Hospital and performed for patients. Watch a portion of the special visit below.
