DIERKS BENTLEY ON LETTERMAN AND THE GRAMMYS.

Dierks Bentley is heading to New York City for the release of his album, Home, February 7th. He’s set to perform on CBS’ Late Show With David Letterman (11:35pm ET) on Wednesday, February 8th.  Just prior to his appearance, the country star will also participate in a live webcast, performing several of his greatest hits, along with songs from the new collection. The Live on Letterman seriesat 8pm ET will be available on the LOL site and VEVO platforms. Select CBS Radio stations and Time Square’s JumboTron will also carry the concert. Radio.com‘s mobile apps will stream the show audio.

Dierks also recently announced the 2012 dates of his Country and Cold Cans tour, with the Eli Young Band returning to the trek, along with Will Hoge and the Cadillac Black also opening select shows. “Country & Cold Cans was such a great tour last fall,” says Dierks. “It’s way too much fun to stop, and we knew we had to continue it into the spring and make another run across the U.S. when we get home from Canada and Australia. We’re even going to Alaska .. giving new meaning to cold cans. [laughs] I’m excited that EYB is coming out with us again: great dudes and they put on a killer show. I’m also a big fan of both the Cadillac Black and Will Hoge, so I’m looking forward to watching their sets every night.”

The tour kicks off in Los Angeles at the Nokia Theatre on April 13. Tickets go on sale February 10th.

Dierks has also been tapped as a presenter, along with Miranda Lambert and Gwyneth Paltrow, during the 54th Annual Grammy Awards, airing live from Los Angeles February 12th on CBS.
