Brantley Gilbert's #1 Country Smash

ALL THE WAY TO HEAVEN: Valory Music Co. artist/songwriter Brantley Gilbert, signed to Rich Egan’s Nashville-based Hard 8 management company, is proving prophetic with the title of his #1 Country radio smash, “Country Must Be Country Wide,” the first single from his sophomore album Halfway to Heaven Deluxe which, combined with the original release, has sold over 300k copies to date. The Georgia native also penned two of the first three singles on Jason Aldean’s multi-platinum Grammy contender My Kinda Party, including the title track and “Dirt Road Anthem,” giving him three straight chart-toppers as a songwriter. As a performer, Gilbert has already played 200 dates this year, and is selling out 2-4,000-seat venues. Valory Music Co. is an imprint of Scott Borchetta's Big Machine Label Group, which includes Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts. (11/21p)
