Gilbert and RCA Nashville artist Chris Young will play themselves as they attend a party with Connie Britton’s character, Rayna James. While it is Brantley’s first attempt at acting, he said that he had great tips from his fiancé, actress and Warner Music Nashville artist Jana Kramer. “She definitely had some pointers but, you know, the part was playing myself so it wasn’t all that hard. It made it pretty easy, but yeah, she definitely had some pointers. She knows what she’s doing,” he said. The singer-songwriter might even get to see some of his own tunes in the show someday. "I think they've found a way to have music, both original songs in the show that they've done, as well as showcase some of the other stuff that's popular and on the charts," he notes.
