Country singer Brantley Gilbert had an unforgettable night on October 11, 2024, when his wife, Amber Cochran Gilbert, gave birth to their third child—on the couple’s tour bus. The bus was parked outside Cadence Bank Arena in Tupelo, Mississippi, where Brantley performed as part of his “Off the Rails Tour.”
Shortly after starting his set, Brantley was informed of the emergency and rushed backstage. Amber had gone into labor, and Brantley quickly left to be by her side during the birth. After the safe arrival of their son, Abram Howell Gilbert, Brantley returned to the stage to share the exciting news with his fans.
“We got a baby in Mississippi!” Brantley announced to a cheering crowd. His bandmates hugged him as concertgoers erupted in applause, capturing the emotional moment on video. Brantley later posted about the experience on social media, calling the night “the cr𝐚ziest night of my life.”
In a heartfelt message, Brantley expressed his admiration for Amber’s strength during the labor, referring to her as “a freaking s𝐚v𝐚ge.” He also thanked his road crew and Tupelo fans for their support during the extraordinary event.
The Gilberts, who have been married since 2015, are already parents to son Barrett, 6, and daughter Braylen, 5. The birth of Abram was a moment the couple will never forget, especially given the unique circumstances.
Ever the professional, Brantley resumed his performance after a quick call to family members, showcasing his dedication to his family and his fans. Fans flooded social media with videos and messages, celebrating alongside the couple.
