Nashville, TN, October 20, 2016….In
keeping with a long-standing tradition of pranking the headliner when a
tour wraps up, Colt Ford, dressed like Batman, flew down from the
rafters and surprised Brantley Gilbert on stage to sing “Dirt Road
Anthem,” the #1 smash hit penned by the pair. Each night of the 35+ city
“Take It Outside 2016 Tour” the two artists have come together during
Gilbert’s set to perform the hit. Watch Colt Ford surprise Brantley
Gilbert at one of their last tour stops in Salt Lake City
here.
Ford recently released his new single, “4 Lane Gone.” The song can be heard nationally on SiriusXM’s The Highway as well
as in such major markets like Phoenix, Atlanta, San Jose, Orlando,
Louisville, Lexington, Denver, Salt Lake City, Fresno, Spokane, Augusta
and more.
Ford’s new album, Love Hope Faith, is scheduled for release early next year.
