Dierks Bentley recently wrapped his High Times & Hangovers club tour – headlining five shows in five nights. He had a blast on stage, even crowd surfing into the audience, making it feel as normal as possible after the year-and-a-half we’ve all endured with the global pandemic.

“It felt so great. It’s a great feeling being back out there,” says Dierks. “In a lot of ways, it’s a lot of different emotions, you know. Looking out at these stages, I’ve played all these rooms before. So, there’s just the general kind of like flashback of wow, we’re back in some of these like kind of iconic country bars. And then, of course, all that happened last year. There’s that whole thing happening in your mind, too. But for the most part, it’s just able to block all that out and have a lot of fun and focus on that show and seen the elation in the fans’ faces and in my band’s faces as well, too. And I’ve tried to not make anything more than that, just fun and not focus too much on the circumstances of what has happened or is happening. Just been going out there and trying to keep it heavy on the music and then just have a good time and we’ve had. We’ve had a lot of fun,”

He gave fans a taste of what to expect from his upcoming 2021 Beers On Me Tour with special guests Parker McCollum and Riley Green. The trek kicks off August 13^th in Sal Lake City, Utah. For more information on tour dates go to Dierks.com.

Dierks is closing in at Top 5 with his latest song, “Gone.”
