Brantley Gilbert brings special guest to the stage | Music City Minute

Sep 16, 2024, 3:52 PM

Brantley Gilbert shut down Lower Broadway in Nashville for the “World’s Largest Album Release Party” on Friday night. Gilbert’s show included a few special guests like Ashley Cooke, who took the stage for their duet, “Over When We’re Sober.” However, the biggest surprise of the night was the triumphant return of Colt Ford to the stage! The crowd went wild seeing the besties perform their 4x platinum hit, “Dirt Road Anthem.” Understandably, the performance was a little more toned down than what we are used to seeing from Ford. I mean, he’s still recuperating from the massive heart attack that killed him twice back in April. However, “The Country As Truck” singer looked fantastic and we’re glad he is feeling so much better!
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
