The Georgia Theatre - A Classic City Icon

If you've ever spent any time in Athens Georgia, you've spent lots of time at The Georgia Theatre. I spent most of the nineties in the Georgia Theatre Balcony (I was the guy with the funny hat). Its a right of passage for young Southern singers and bands to headline the Georgia Theatre.

RandomThings I've Seen At The Georgia Theatre:

• U.G.A. Football - Its like being at the game, but you don't have to hide your beer
• Kinchafoonie, Josh Joplin, Rollin' In The Hay, Collective Soul, David Allan Coe, Govt Mule, Jump Little Children, Ben Folds Five, the list could go on and on....
• "Wizard Of Oz set to The Wall , Pink Floyd Lazer Light Show, Dazed And Confused
• In the 90s they set up a dance club between 2 and 4. No Alcohol, and it turned into a bunch of high-school kids out past curfew...
• Random fights, break-ups, hook-ups, naked women, naked men (eww!)

Brantley Gilbert said that when he was 14, he once snuck out to play a bar, and as he was singing a Travis Tritt song, his mom walked in. Now Gilbert has opened for country stars such as Sara Evans and Tritt himself.

The Jefferson, Ga., native, who recently joined three other musicians as the Brantley Gilbert Band, will play Athens' Georgia Theatre Friday.

BRANTLEY GILBERT

Gilbert's manager, Ken Fulghum, described the band's music as "country with a rock spin."

Before forming his new band, Gilbert worked and traveled around playing with singer-songwriter Corey Smith, also from his hometown of Jefferson.

"(Corey's) my mentor and main inspiration," said Gilbert.

Gilbert followed Smith around for three years after Gilbert was in a bad car wreck. He said that after the accident, he decided to pursue a career as a musician instead of as a marriage counselor.

The car wreck impacted not only his life but also his music. Gilbert said that one aspect he wanted his audience to gain from his music and shows is that life can be very short and everyone should take advantage of every second.

"If you're gonna live, do something with it," he said. "Make it great."

Another important facet of his music is the culture of his hometown. He said everything about his songs is somehow linked to Jefferson.

"It's knowing the roads where the cops aren't - my music is this town," Gilbert said.

His first album was titled "A Modern Day Prodigal Son" and chronicled a large part of his life.

According to Fulghum, one of its songs, "Grits," was recorded by Chris Cagle.

Fulghum also said that Gilbert was recently offered a recording contract by Warner Chapel and that the deal should be worked out within the next few weeks.

When asked about the upcoming contract, Gilbert said he was pretty simple and that although he would be fine with a record deal, he would be just as fine without one.
