This year, add a little country music to your holiday festivities with the 2011 Taste of Country Christmas Tour! Brantley Gilbert will headline the stint, which runs all across the great state of Texas with dates scattered in Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas, and he's bringing along newcomer Thomas Rhett.

Gilbert, who penned Jason Aldean's biggest hits 'My Kinda Party' and 'Dirt Road Anthem,' will rock his single 'Country Must Be Country Wide' for southern fans to really get them into the giving spirit. The Georgia native rock-country star is gaining popularity as fast as Santa's sleigh flies to get around the world, with fans making pit-stops at Gilbert's Facebook page over seven million times each month.

Tickets to the 2011 Taste of Country Christmas Tour go on sale to the public on September 30, and tickets will be available at Ticketfly.
