SOLOMONS, Md. — Country music fans in Southern Maryland have a major event to mark on their calendars: Brantley Gilbert, with special guest Jackson Dean, will perform at the Calvert Marine Museum’s Waterside Music Series on Thursday, June 19, 2025. The concert, part of Gilbert’s The Tattoos Tour, will take place at the Motto Mortgage Preferred and RE/MAX One Waterside Pavilion, offering a night of live music against a scenic waterfront backdrop.
Gilbert, a multi-Platinum artist known for blending country, rock, and rap, brings a catalog of seven No. 1 hits, including “Bottoms Up,” “Country Must Be Country Wide,” and “One Hell of an Amen.” With over 8.3 billion career streams and songwriting credits on tracks like Jason Aldean’s “Dirt Road Anthem,” Gilbert has carved a unique space in the genre. His latest album, Tattoos, released in 2024, mixes high-energy anthems with introspective ballads, showcasing his evolution as a performer.
Opening the show is Jackson Dean, a Maryland-born singer-songwriter who has quickly risen in the country music scene. His debut single, “Don’t Come Lookin’,” earned Platinum status and hit No. 1 in 2022, marking him as the youngest solo male country artist to top the charts with a debut release, according to Billboard. His sophomore album, On The Back Of My Dreams, features the current radio climber “Heavens to Betsy,” highlighting his distinctive voice and storytelling ability.
Tickets for the event range from $60 to $100, with all-in pricing.
