Parker McCollum couldn’t be more complimentary about Dierks Bentley, who invited the Texas native along on his Beers On Me Tour, launching August 13th in Salt Lake City, Utah. Parker says there isn’t a nicer guy around than Dierks and he couldn’t say no to going on the road with him.

“I think anybody you talk to in Nashville or around town will all say the same thing — of all the superstars in town, Dierks is, without a doubt, one of the nicest, if not THE nicest, just most down-to-earth, genuine guy,” says Parker. “You know, he means well. He’s got great songs, he’s a great performer and he loves real country music. So, any time someone like that is asking me to go on tour with ‘em, man, I’d be hard pressed to say no.”

Parker is currently making his way up the country charts with his latest song, “To Be Loved By You.”
