Brantley Gilbert will take his The Ones That Like Me tour to 琉璃神社 in March.
Gilbert spent all of 2017 taking his music to the people. Working the Rust Belt, the Heartland, the mid-South, the deep South and the Northeast, Gilbert knows it鈥檚 the people who make 鈥� and keep 鈥� the music strong. As Billboard said of the Georgia born and raised songwriter, 鈥淏rantley Gilbert knows his audience. With a pair of platinum albums and nine of his singles being certified gold, platinum or multi-platinum, Gilbert鈥檚 music strikes a chord with people.鈥�
And that鈥檚 exactly why he鈥檚 calling this year鈥檚 tour The Ones That Like Me 2018.
鈥淧eople tell you all kinds of things about marketing,鈥� Gilbert said of his tour鈥檚 name. 鈥淏ut I want to call it something that speaks to what this tour is: a chance for me to get together with all the people out there who get this music, who believe in these songs and live their lives just like the people back home do. We are all proud Americans, who try to stand up and do the right thing. That isn鈥檛 marketing, that鈥檚 life 鈥� and that鈥檚 what my music is made of.鈥�
Having spent the summer playing and selling out hard ticket dates in amphitheaters, as well as handful of festivals as headliner, Gilbert got to look the BG Nation in the eye. As he鈥檚 home waiting for the birth of his first child, he鈥檚 reflected on the power and the heart of those people, and he鈥檚 even more determined to give them a show that gives back everything they are!
鈥淚 say every album is a chapter of my life,鈥� Gilbert said, as the first nine dates of his tour go onsale.
鈥淚t鈥檚 real, even when it鈥檚 simple 鈥� because life is pretty simple, even when it鈥檚 rough. 鈥極ne Hell of an Amen鈥� looks some tough stuff in the eye, and stands tall. It鈥檚 how I was raised, and I think everyone in the BG Nation feels it the same way. So these aren鈥檛 just my songs, they鈥檙e the songs of all of our lives. When I get back out there, man, we鈥檙e gonna have even more life to lift up and celebrate.鈥�
