Grant Gilbert

Cut from the Texas country cloth, yet rocking a style of his own design, River House artist Grant Gilbert has a history of self-made wins, streaming success, and big-name believers. With a fresh batch of music, proudly independent and made with Nashville’s top talent, a new chapter begins. Raised on a cattle ranch in tiny Santo, Texas, Gilbert was inspired by everything from his grandparents’ Texas swing and fiddle tunes to his dad’s penchant for Springsteen, Petty, and the country hits of the ‘80s. He eventually made his way to Nashville where he spent time writing with hit songwriters like Brad Clawson, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Dan Isbell, and recording with producer/songwriter Jonathan Singleton. Tracks like “She Goes Home (Dirty Breakup Song),” “God & Everybody” and “What's Stopping Us” racked up over 3 million streams on Spotify alone, mixing that gritty Lubbock edge with a youthful passion for life and love. Recent tracks like the can-crushing “Six Pack State of Mind” (featuring Josh Abbott) and “Take Me Out To The Bar”, followed by the soulful “Turn It Down”, all of which are included on his EP Between The Highways, help to showcase the artist Gilbert’s become. He started 2025 with the Texas hometown anthem, “West of Fort Worth,” and a collaborative track with fellow Texas native, Hudson Westbrook, “Bad Reputation”. His forthcoming album West of Fort Worth, out June 27, is a snapshot of where he’s been, who he is, and where he’s headed next.
