Brantley Gilbert is living the tour life on his Tattoos Tour in 2025, bringing fresh faces like Jackson Dean and Travis Denning along for the ride. It’s a serious case of “what goes around comes around” as Gilbert reflects on how mentors like Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw opened doors for him in his early days. He wants to make sure the next generation of talent gets the same exposure that helped him take center stage.
After signing a new record deal with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, Gilbert is buzzing with excitement about the future. He recently announced this milestone during a show, leaving fans thrilled for what’s next. Between helping up-and-coming artists and launching a fresh chapter in his career, it seems like Brantley is on a winning streak. Maybe we should all take a page from his book and think about how we can support those around us.
As fans await new music and even more tour dates, it’s refreshing to see an artist genuinely committed to mentoring others. We all remember that friend who wouldn’t let us pet their puppy—Gilbert’s clearly the opposite! If you could give a gift of mentorship to someone in the arts, who would it be? Let’s keep the conversation rolling!
