Live reviews

Brantley Gilbert has gained a huge following for his alt-country sound since releasing his debut in 2009. He is not a traditional country artist by any sense of the word, there is far more emphasis on rock within his music and this makes for a far more engaging live show.

As Gilbert commands the stage and the audience as one whilst jamming out with his slick live band to 'Kick It in the Sticks'. Huge, pulsing drums echo around the venue and the audience claps along in time enthusiastically whilst Brantley serenades the crowds with his unique, gruff vocal. Huge cheers raise the roof for 'You Don't Know Her Like I Do' as the singer really gives his all for this anthemic number as the crowd supports him through the choruses.

Left with a huge smile on his face, he is invigorated and tears through all the hits that the crowds have come to hear before his band teases the introduction to perhaps his best known track 'Country Must Be Countrywide'. The audience applauds rapturously and encourages the band to really rock out on this fan favourite and as they take the final bows, the crowd are still chanting the singer's name.
