• DIERKS BENTLEY TAKES THE PLUNGE.

    Dierks Bentley recently made his annual Polar Plunge, but he was a few days late, 13 to be exact, so he decided to “punish” himself by staying in the cold water for 13 minutes, and he added one additional minute for the heck of it. At Percy Priest Lake outside of Nashville, Dierks was dressed in just a pair of shorts and a ballcap when he walked into the 36-degree water. Check out the video of his 15th plunge below.

    Dierks just released the video for his latest song, “Black,” and he’s about to hit the road for his What the Hell Tour, featuring Jon Pardi and Cole Swindell. The trek kicks off in Dayton, Ohio on Thursday (January 19th).

  • DIERKS BENTLEY’S NEW VIDEO FOR ‘BLACK’ FEATURES HIS WIFE, CASSIDY.

    As GRAMMY nominee Dierks Bentley continues “following his muse to wherever it might take him—with the sky as the literal limit” (Esquire), he finds himself halfway across the world in remote areas of Iceland in the debut of his epic music video for “Black” on TIME. Over a four day shoot featuring breathtaking landscapes, stunning supernatural effects and incredibly intimate moments with his wife Cassidy, Bentley visually sets the tone for “the sexiest songs of his career” (Associated Press, Rolling Stone)
     
    “We’ve been talking about Iceland as a location since before I even released the album last year, but I never thought we’d actually go. The next thing I know, there’s a shoot booked and we are standing on the side of a glacier half-dressed,” laughed Bentley. “The crew wasn’t kidding around….it was four long, cold days in some really treacherous conditions. We were on a lot of the same locations that ‘Game Of Thrones’ and the Star Wars films have shot, and it’s just crazy what those people go through every day. I had the idea of putting my wife in the video, which is totally taking her out of her comfort zone, but I just couldn’t imagine doing a video for this song without her in it and she reluctantly agreed…but then totally NAILED it. It wouldn’t have been genuine without her. I think the end result is something really special, and it was a trip of a lifetime for everyone involved.”

    “As a performer and ambassador for the genre, Bentley has been a steadfast star, and one that continues to take risks that pay off” (USA TODAY) which continues to be evident and cemented with “Black’s” critical acclaim.  
     
    “A sultry bedroom ballad that allowed him to frame the entire album around the story lines of love, loss and heartache.” – AP 
     
    “The sexy title-track describes an all-consuming love as if it weren’t so different from a black hole.” – People
     
    “Rich with detailed lyrics only made even more vivid by Bentley’s rasp.” – Esquire
     
    “It’s mood music, sometimes playing as smooth as a seduction but better suited for moments of introspection when you’re surrounded by a crowd and need to isolate.” – AllMusic
     
    Bentley is known for getting “stronger and stronger with every release and is one of the few artists that can go from bluegrass to country” (Billboard) as he recently released his eight studio album BLACK, which ranks as the best selling debut of Bentley’s career. After debuting at the No. One position on Billboard’s Top Albums Chart and Top Country Albums chart, the critically-acclaimed album has already spawned two No. One hits, the PLATINUM certified chart-topping hit “Somewhere On A Beach” and GOLD and GRAMMY nominated “Different For Girls” featuring Elle King. Bentley has now amassed 15 No. one songs, 13 GRAMMY nominations and is a recent CMA Award winner for Vocal Event of the Year. “The  bluegrass  picker,  the  love  song  singer  and  the stadium rocker all packaged together” (Associated Press) has been a Grand Ole Opry member for over a decade and will launch his 2017 WHAT THE HELL WORLD TOUR next week on Jan. 19 in Dayton, OH.

  • DIERKS BENTLEY OPENS THIRD WHISKEY ROW LOCATION.

    Dierks Bentley will open his newest Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row location on February 27th in Gilbert, Arizona. The third of the Whiskey Row restaurant concepts is located in the heart of Heritage Marketplace on the southeast corner of Gilbert Road and Vaughn Avenue.
     
    “When we opened our first Whiskey Row three years ago, I never would have guessed we’d be three bars in, in three years,” said Bentley. “The Riot group and I have spent a lot of time making sure each Whiskey Row is our version of the perfect place to listen to music, watch a game or grab some great food and drinks. The vibe is really unique and special, and it’s awesome to see so many people enjoying themselves at Whiskey Row.”
     
    The new location will include a 4,600 square-foot outdoor patio with space for cornhole and ping-pong, a large dance floor and stage inside, and large windows facing out to downtown. Guests will enjoy live music on the weekends along with daily happy hour specials. The menu, which is 30 percent larger than the other Whiskey Row locations, boasts modern American fare made from scratch using premium and local ingredients. 
     
    Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row is a country-themed and entertainment-focused restaurant serving familiar “American Gastropub Fare type cuisine with a modern twist.” Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row is a live-music restaurant and bar with three existing locations in Arizona and plans for a nationwide rollout. Whiskey Row combines interactive entertainment, signature dishes and memorable beverages to create a fun, country-inspired environment. The Gilbert location was designed with families in mind and will include large family tables and areas for friends and family to spend time together while enjoying signature menu items and live country music performances.

Known for “traveling his own path…Country music’s most relatable star” (Esquire) recently released his eight studio album BLACK, which ranks as the best selling release of Bentley’s career, after debuting at the No. One position on Billboard’s Top Albums Chart and Top Country Albums chart.

  • NEW YEAR’S 2016: Brothers Osborne, Canaan, Clare, Dierks, Eric, Jon, Kacey, Keith, Kip, Luke

    What are some of your favorite stars doing to welcome in the New Year? Some of them are working to help fans celebrate. Several artists have taken the time off around the holidays and will hit it hard when they return to the road in January. Some artists have resolutions and some are very helpful with their own hangover cures for those who imbibe too much on New Year’s Eve.

    Keith Urban is set to headline Music City on New Year’s Eve. He’ll perform at the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park as part of the Jack Daniels Music City Midnight bash. Styx, A Thousand Horses, Charlie Worsham, Moon Taxi and the Fisk Jubliee Singers are also on the bill.

    Brothers Osborne will ring in the New Year by headlining the New Year’s Eve Bowl Bash in Jacksonville, Florida. The free concert and celebration will take place at the intersection of Forsyth and Ocean in Downtown Jacksonville.

    Luke Bryan will spend the night before New Year’s Eve, so New Year’s Eve Eve (December 30th), in Las Vegas performing a show at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

    Audio / Brothers Osborne talk about how people spend the last moments of the year, and the first moments of the new year.

    Download

    Brothers Osborne (New Year) OC: (TJ) …next month. :44
    JOHN: “I think it’s kind of funny how we spend literally the last moment and the very first moment of every year being extremely intoxicated, extremely, because you don’t want to wait until like 12:30 to get your buzz on. You’ve got to do it before midnight, and then once midnight happens, you’re like, ‘Omigod! Now it’s time to celebrate even more.’ Debauchery is the literally bookending your entire year.” TJ: “I love how everyone starts the year off with diets and then we end the year with like excessive amounts of food. And then you get to the end of the year, you’re like, ‘Oh, I’m going to start a diet on the 1st, so I’m going to eat everything that’s in front of me.’ I love it.” JOHN: “And come February 1st, ‘what diet?’” [laughs] TJ: “What diet? I’ll start it next month.” [laughs]

    Audio / John Osborne of Brothers Osborne says a little hair of the dog is definitely the cure for a hangover.

    Download

    Brothers Osborne (hangover cure) OC: …of the year. :07
    “Usually drinking more. I mean, a little hair of the dog never hurt anybody. Plus, it’s the first of the year.”

    Audio / Canaan Smith says there’s really no cure for a hangover.

    Download

    Canaan Smith (no hangover cure) OC: …long, you know? :32
    “There is no hangover cure. The older I get I’m like, ‘Oh God! What am I thinking?’ It’s terrible. Hangovers are awful. Tequila’s the worst. I try to stay away from Tequila, because it hurts me bad. I used to be a whiskey guy. I still am every now and then, but of late, I’m domestic, American beer, just something light and tasty. Shots are my worst enemy. When I start working shots into the picture, that’s when I know I’m gonna hurt the next morning. I just try to keep it the same, whether it’s whiskey or beer or whatever, I just stick with that same drink the whole night long, you know?”

    Audio / Clare Dunn suggests a good hangover cure.

    Download

    Clare Dunn (hangover cure) OC: …hangover cure. :10
    “Greasy food is always kind of a, you can let it go for one day before you start all your resolutions [laughs] after that. So, that’s probably my best hangover cure.”

    Audio / Dierks Bentley says there’s not really a cure for a hangover.

    Download

    Dierks (NYE) OC: …for that. :10
    “I think January first is universally accepted as a dog. So I mean, a little hair of the dog, I guess. But just…water and stay on the couch, I guess. There’s no real sure-fire cure for that.”

    Audio / Dierks Bentley says he'll take this New Year's Eve in stride.

    Download

    Dierks Bentley (New Year’s) OC: …in stride. 1:11
    “New Year’s is rough. New Year’s hurts no matter what’s going o n. I’ve played a lot of New Year’s shows, you know, but I’ve honestly found that it’s not my favorite night to throw down. Look, for a living, that’s what I do. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, I host a big party; not only on stage, but I’ve got friends backstage. It starts before the concert sometimes, [and] it goes long after the concert, so a lot of times on New Year’s, I’m looking for a really mellow hang – a good party, good friends, pretty chill. Some of my best New Year’s – it doesn’t make for great radio – but some of my best New Year’s have been just like actually hearing fireworks go off while I’m in bed, [laughs] and know I’m gonna wake up the next morning for the first day of the New Year feeling great, feeling recharged and I’m ready to go ad go into the New Year feeling good as opposed to going into it with a giant Jagerbomb hangover, which I’ve done many, many times. So, the goal this year is to go into it feeling pretty good and the kids help with that, because you really just don’t want to be hungover with children. It’s not a good feeling. You would probably admit to any crime to get them, just feel better, and get them leave you alone. So, [I’m] gonna try to hit New Year’s this year in stride.”

    Audio / Eric Church has a couple of hangover cures for those times (especially on New Year’s Eve) when you might imbibe a little too much.

    Download

    Eric Church (hangover cure) OC: …every time. :17
    “The best hangover cure – I’ve got two. One is 5-hour Energy [bottles], because of all the B-vitamins that are in it. You can start pounding those, and it’s either gonna work, or it’s gonna keep you up and prolong your misery. But the other one I have is just take two Advil and a beer in the morning. Hair of the dog, man – that works every time.”

    Audio / Jon Pardi reveals his go-to cure for hangovers.

    Download

    Jon Pardi (hangover cure) OC: …deal with it. :20
    “My hangover cure is Bloody Marys, but be careful – because once you have a couple, don’t go to beer, because if you go to beer, you’re gonna start drinking again and you’ll end up a morning drunk. OR if you want to go the non-alcoholic route, there’s nothing you can do for hangovers. [laughs] You just go deal with it.”

    Audio / Kacey Musgraves, who rings in the New Year performing at the Grand Ole Opry, has her own hangover cure.

    Download

    Kacey Musgraves (hangover cure) OC: …water. Yup! :32
    “Coconut water is a major help with hangovers and also, a lot of times we go and eat Vietnamese fuh. It’s a soup, and it’s got this awesome broth. You can get different things in it or whatever, but for some reason, it’s just like…it’s almost like a chicken noodle soup kind of an idea, you know, but it’s good. That’s good for hangovers too. That, sleep, Tylenol, coconut water and just water, in general. And when you’re drinking, have your alcohol, drink a little bit of water, drink some more alcohol, drink some water. Yup!”

    Audio / Kacey Musgraves gives her favorite hangover cure, which is pretty simple.

    Download

    Kacey Musgraves (favorite hangover cure) OC: …as bad. :11
    Oh actually, though, my favorite hangover cure is right before you go to bed, no matter how trashed you are, literally just chug an entire glass of water, and then when you wake up, it’s not as bad.”

    Audio / Kip Moore gives advice on how to avoid a hangover on New Year’s Eve.

    Kip Moore (avoiding hangovers on NYE) OC: …yourself. :03
    “Pace yourself on New Year’s – that’s the remedy. Pace yourself.”

    Luke Bryan (New Years-best) OC: …great night. :17
    “My best New Year’s Eve is definitely when my wife and I started back dating. We started back dating right before Christmas, and we went on a trip down to Florida and met some friends. And her birthday is New Year’s Eve. We celebrated it that night. It was just a great night.”

  • CHRISTMAS 2016: Dierks Bentley

    Dierks Bentley, who is the father of three children (Evie, Jordan, Knox), says you revert back to your childhood at Christmas when you start having a family of your own.

    “Christmas didn’t lose any of its real meaning, as far as its religious meaning with Jesus’ birthday,” says Dierks. “But as far as like the whole tree and all of the Christmas spirit stuff, the secular stuff, it just kind of goes away, to be honest. But then you have a family, and all of a sudden it’s like I’m all Clark Griswold out there decorating the tree, putting lights up around the house, you know. So, all of those things that you did as a kid and appreciated as a kid, you get a chance to do over again when you have kids, because you kinda become one again.”

    He says his middle child, daughter Jordan, sometimes gets a raw deal since her birthday falls on Christmas. “It’s tough kind of for Jordan because her birthday IS on Christmas, so it’s kind of one of those things where we try to give her an extra present or two,” says Dierks. “It’s kind of tough to share your birthday with Jesus. You can get a little overshadowed on that one, but she’s good about it, but we just tell her, ‘All these Christmas trees and lights, these are all for you.’”

    Dierks is spending quality time with the family before heading back on the road with his What the Hell Tour, which kicks off January 19th in Dayton, Ohio. He’s taking Jon Pardi and Cole Swindell along for the ride.

    Dierks Bentley (Christmas with kids) OC: …for you! 1:04
    “Christmas as a kid, you have so many memories you have and traditions you do as a family. I left home at an early age, and it kind of changes, especially when you start getting on the road, it’s a different kind of holiday. But when kids start coming back around, you start remembering all these traditions you did as a kid and you want to get your kids back out to be with their grandparents. So, we always go back out to Arizona where my mom still lives and my wife’s mom and dad still live. My kids love family. I mean, if you’re family, then you’re in. They’re all about family, and they’re lucky because we do Christmas Eve at my in-laws’ house and then we do Christmas Day at my mom’s house, so they get a lot of love. But it’s tough kind of for Jordan because her birthday IS on Christmas, so it’s kind of one of those things where we try to give her an extra present or two. It’s kind of tough to share your birthday with Jesus. You can get a little overshadowed on that one, but she’s good about it, but we just tell her, ‘All these Christmas trees and lights, these are all for you.’”

    Audio / Dierks Bentley didn't have any white Christmases as a kid in Arizona, so that meant he and his family engaged in some Christmas Day activities that snowbound folks have never thought of...ever.

    Dierks Bentley (Christmas in the desert) OC: …in Arizona. :32

It’s kinda…once you experience that, it’s hard to go back and like celebrate Christmas in the desert but…for us, we would…me and my family and a couple other families would go out to the desert and bring a big turkey and just kinda have a cookout in the middle of the desert…and drink beers and ride four-wheelers and…well, I wouldn’t drink beers, but they would. We’d ride four-wheelers and horses and just kind of spend it out in the middle of the desert, which was kind of a cool way to spend Christmas. So whenever I think of Christmas, I always think of the desert, which is a little weird, but that’s just the way we did it out in Arizona.”

  • DIERKS BENTLEY THROWS BACK WITH SURPRISE POP UP SHOW AT NASHVILLE HONKY TONK, LEGENDS.

    Before his first-ever headlining show at Bridgestone Arena on Jan. 21, multi-Platinum singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley paid homage to Nashville’s music history by crashing Legends Corner tonight (11/14) for an impromptu set. After Bentley shared his plans on social media, fans lined the streets of Broadway for hours hoping to get into the legendary honky-tonk. With walls plastered in classic Country album covers, those who made it in were welcomed by the renowned radio broadcaster and voice of the Grand Ole Opry Eddie Stubbs, who invited Bentley to the stage. 
     
    “Let me share a little bit of history before he gets started,” said Stubbs. “He’s played a lot of music on this block. He embraces the legends and welcomes new artists with open arms. He’s a keeper.” 
     
    “This place is an especially fun way for me and the guys to get warmed up for the show in January,” said Bentley. “That big line meant so much to me. We love being able to take it back to the time we had no money and just played for the love of music. Wow…thanks for being part of this before we head across the street.”
     
    With the same drummer backing him since his days of playing for free beer and tips at what used to be Wolfy’s Den a few doors down, Bentley’s spontaneous set list included Conway Twitty, George Jones, Ray Price, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Jr., Charlie Louvin, Brooks & Dunn, Sawyer Brown, John Michael Montgomery, Vern Gosdin and Alan Jackson covers before tourmate Cole Swindell hopped on stage for Joe Diffie’s “John Deere Green” and Randy Travis’ “Forever And Ever, Amen.” Whether taking fan requests on the spot or paying tribute to his biggest musical heroes, Bentley once again demonstrated his depth and dexterity as an avid fan of Country Music. 
     
    “As a performer and ambassador for the genre, Bentley has been a steadfast star, and one that continues to take risks that pay off” (USA TODAY), which is transcendent with the release of his new single, “Black.”  Written by Bentley, Ross Copperman and Ashley Gorley, the title-track from his critically acclaimed album BLACK (Capitol Records Nashville) has been hailed as one of “the sexiest songs of his career” by the Associated Press and Rolling Stone. The Multi-PLATINUM singer/songwriter kicks off next year with his 2017 WHAT THE HELL WORLD TOUR launching Jan. 19 in Dayton, OH, with special guests Cole Swindell and Jon Pardi.The the first leg will treak through 23 cities through in both the US and Canada, making a notable stop its first weekend with a career-first for Bentley – headlining Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Jan. 21.  Tickets for the notorious stop go on-sale to the general public Friday (11/18) at 10:00A CT at www.dierks.com.
