As Brantley Gilbert readies a new album, the multi-Platinum country rocker announces his new single “Over When We’re Sober,” an enticing duet with Ashley Cooke, via The Valory Music Co.
“I loved the song from the minute we wrote it,” shares Gilbert. “When it came time to find a collaborator, my producer Brock Berryhill suggested Ashley. I was so impressed with her writing and her voice. She’d just released a 24-track album – you don’t see many people doing that these days – and I thought that also speaks to her work ethic. It’s a special song, and I’m so thankful that she agreed to join me on it.”
“When Brantley called me about this song, I listened to the demo and it was an immediate ‘yes,’” shares Cooke. “I’ve been a fan for truly so long – in fact, my Christmas present from a college boyfriend one year was a road trip to Atlanta just to see BG’s show. It’s such an honor to get to be on a song with someone I’ve admired for so long. Not to mention, one of the realest, funniest, most talented guys I’ve met on this journey so far. So thankful BG wanted me on this one!”
Over the last two years, Gilbert has been writing and recording for his seventh studio album. “Over When We’re Sober,” written by Gilbert with Jason DeFord (Jelly Roll), Brock Berryhill and Justin Wilson, is one of many exciting collaborations found on the forthcoming project. The Georgia native delivered the first preview with the revelry inducing anthem “Off The Rails” earlier this year.
Celebrating 10 years of his 7x Platinum certified hit “Bottoms Up,” Gilbert will appear at the Big Machine Pop Up in Nashville tomorrow, Friday, June 7 at 12pm, with the 1935 Ford Sedan from the music video onsite at Bell Bottoms Up (120 Third Avenue South). Fans can enter for a chance to win the car, in addition to other prizes including an autographed guitar, autographed “Bottoms Up” framed poster, autographed boots worn on stage by Gilbert, an autographed Just As I Am CD and more.
With numerous sold out shows since embarking on the Off The Rails Tour, Gilbert and his crew will continue to deliver an unforgettable experience at each stop, packing as many songs as possible into the setlist and incorporating elevated production elements with pyrotechnics and CO2 cannons.
“We’ve had such an amazing time on the Off The Rails Tour,” shares Gilbert. “This is my favorite show that we’ve put together, thanks to a talented lineup both in the band and behind the scenes. It’s been incredible seeing BG Nation match that energy every single night, and it only makes us more excited to get to the next city.”
