Brantley Gilbert has partnered with Nashville's world-famous honky-tonk Tootsies ahead of their 59th birthday celebration.

Gilbert joins Tootsie's Orchid lounge to take over Broadway between 4th & 5th Avenue to celebrate his new album at Tootsies' 59th Anniversary Birthday Bash, a free block party on October 9 with special guests Randy Houser, Lee Brice, Jon Pardi, Darryl Worley, Terri Clark, Montgomery Gentry, Payton Smith and more.

Brantley says, “Whether serving our country, working your ass off to provide to your family, or just barely getting by but doing everything you can in the meantime to make it work, we have more in common than we are different, and we want to bring everyone together to pause and reflect on the moments that make it all worth the work.”

His new album Fire and Brimstone will be out on October 4.

Previous Tootsies Birthday Bash performers include Kid Rock, Jake Owen, Travis Tritt and Jamey Johnson. This will be Gilbert’s first appearance on the Tootsie’s Birthday Bash stage.
