BRANTLEY GILBERT CONTINUES SUPPORT OF
MILITARY& MUSIC IN NEW VIDEO
Glimpse into Memorial Day Trek with Wounded Warrior Project Released
“One Hell Of An Amen” Cruises to Top 5 at Country Radio
NASHVILLE, TN – BRANTLEY GILBERT
has spent the last few months celebrating personally and
professionally. The rough-and-tumble hitmaker today offers a glimpse
into an impactful motorcycle ride with the Wounded Warrior Project® that
helped launch their Rolling Odyssey therapy program over Memorial Day Weekend. The “One Hell Of An Amen”
singer, whose single entered Country radio’s Top 5 this week, embarked
on a 48-hour trek from Houston to Baton Rouge and formed strong bonds
with ten Wounded Warrior Project® riders while sharing stories about
life. Making four stops at Harley-Davidson dealerships along the way,
the video follows the group as they cruise down the highway and greet
fans at each dealership with Brantley performing songs from Just As I Am Platinum Edition (The Valory Music Co.). Watch the video celebrating Brantley’s passion for the military, music and motorcycles here: http://vevo.ly/ReLewd.
Brantley continues his dedication to service men and women who fight the good fight, appearing on FOX & Friends last month to present one of the riders with tickets to the CMT Music Awards. Staff Sergeant Justin Patterson and his wife represented Brantley’s Collaborative Video of the Year nomination for “Small Town Throwdown” ft. Justin Moore and Thomas Rhett during the awards live broadcast in Nashville. Just As I Am Platinum Edition summited iTunes Top Country Albums chart upon release and currently holds the #8 spot on 2015’s Top Country Albums chart. Having penned each of the 19 tracks, the Georgia native showed a more intimate look into this chapter of his life, including the title track “Just As I Am.” The project serves as a thank you to the passionate BG Nation for their support of 2014’s Just As I Am, which took home the AMA for Favorite Country Album.

BRANTLEY GILBERT GETS PERSONAL WITH
“ONE HELL OF AN AMEN”
“ONE HELL OF AN AMEN”
Watch Brand New Video Dedicated to the Memories of Close Friend and Military Hero
NASHVILLE – Known for his patriotism and true-to-life storytelling, Platinum-selling BRANTLEY GILBERT is
getting personal with his latest single, “One Hell of an Amen,” which
is already gaining buzz from BG nation on social media. The brand new
video pays tribute to the song he penned in honor of two brave men whose
separate legacies prove to be as strong as their fights. One being
Brantley’s close friend, Kory, who lost his battle with Leukemia
while courageously telling his doctors to “bring it on.” The other is a
hometown hero’s best friend named Jon who was killed in combat while
defending others in Iraq. Watch their impact in “One Hell of an Amen” here.
The Georgia native explained the inspiration behind “One Hell of an Amen” during a recent Google+ Hangout,
“One of my dear friends back home, Josh, went to Iraq on several tours,” said Brantley. “He had a best friend over there who passed away just a couple feet from where he was positioned. Josh told me the story and it made me feel like I was right there with him. I try not to write songs about things I haven’t been through or experienced, but the way Josh told me the story…it punched me in the chest.”
Brantley once again teamed up with director SHANE DRAKE, who spearheaded the singer’s previous video, “Small Town Throwdown” ft. labelmates Justin Moore and Thomas Rhett.
Splitting scenes between a graveyard and an old church, Shane incorporated real-life elements into the narrative structure of the music video, using photos and mementos from Kory and Jon’s families. In a reverent scene depicting the bravery needed to face cancer, Shane used Kory’s beloved “Bring It On” bandana to serve as a reminder to “fight the good fight until the good Lord calls you home.” This was the guiding principal Kory lived by and one of Brantley’s favorite lyrics in the ballad.
“It’s easy to say the song’s about death, but to me, it’s about the good fight,” explains Brantley. “It’s about the attitude, the strength and the courage those boys had for what they were going through. Kory battling Leukemia and Jon fighting in Iraq…it’s about two different wars. Anytime you go out fighting for your life or fighting for your country, that’s ‘One Hell of An Amen.’”
The track serves as a heartfelt catalyst and third single from JUST AS I AM, which garnered the American Music Award for Favorite Country Album. Brantley traveled nearly 3,000 miles to launch the album during “Athens to Arlington,” a motorcycle ride honoring American heroes and thanking the loyal BG Nation fans. The journey culminated at Arlington cemetery, where Brantley laid a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Footage of the ride is featured in the “One Hell of An Amen” video and helps to further tell the story of valor.
This summer, Brantley will join Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean for THE BIG REVIVAL TOUR.
