Dierks Bentley is poised to take over the top spot on the country charts with his latest song, “Beers On Me,” which features Hardy and BRELAND.
Dierks says he couldn’t be more thrilled with the collaboration, even though he found out about BRELAND during a break from recording in the studio. “I wrote ‘Beers On Me’ with Hardy and some other people, and I just asked Hardy if he’d take a verse on it. It seemed like a natural song for a duet,” he says. “But the cool thing is I was in the studio working on the third verse, and I took a break, and I was reading an article in the paper about a guy named BRELAND. And it just hit me maybe I should invite this guy in to sing the third verse. And so, I got his number and called him, and he came in the next day. He rewrote the verse entirely – totally different verse – made the song a hundred times better and then sang on it with the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard. So, it’s just been a really awesome collaboration, totally organic, just kind of a meant-to-be thing, and so excited seeing this song do as well as it has on the radio.”
The Arizona native, who recently announced his Seven Peaks Festival for this year, will launch the summer leg of his BEERS ON ME TOUR June 3rd in Wilmington, North Carolina, with special guests Ashley McBryde and Travis Denning.
