It is a birth story for all ages.

Country rock singer Brantley Gilbert shared all the details about “the craziest night of my life” in an Instagram video on Saturday. He revealed that his wife, Amber Cochran Gilbert, went into labor while he was mid-show at Cadence Bank Arena in Tupelo, Mississippi, during his “Off the Rails Tour.”

The video opens with Gilbert rocking out on stage, but shortly afterward “he’s pulled away backstage for an emergency,” the on-screen text reads. He then ends up with Gilbert on the phone with his mother, who tells her the wonderful news: “You have a new grandbaby.”

The couple named their new bundle of joy Abram Howell Gilbert, born October 11.

As his mother celebrates on the phone, the video cuts to black and white clips of their newborn child, a son. Gilbert’s mother then asked him how his wife was doing, to which he replied, “She’s a damn savage.” His mother added, “I’m sure. She’s great. She’s absolutely amazing.’

Still, the show must go on. In the video you see Gilbert hanging up on his mother because he had to ‘finish the show’. Back on stage, the country singer told his fans, “We’re having a baby.”

As concertgoers erupted in congratulations, Gilbert’s bandmates also hugged him and celebrated the news.

Sharing the video of his child’s birth story, Gilbert wrote: “Seeing such an amazing woman do something so amazing is something I will never forget. Thank you to our road family who rallied around us, Brittany Thornton for helping us make this happen little guy in the world, Tupelo, Mississippi, for showing us crazy love and support, and most of all…Amber Gilbert, for fact that she made me love you and showed me EXACTLY how incredibly strong a woman can be.

The Gilberts have been married since 2015 and are parents to son Barrett, 6, and daughter Braylen, 5.

“We will never forget how you got here,” the couple wrote in another joint Instagram post, “and we can’t wait to see what you do here.”
