Dierks Bentley is crisscrossing the country with his latest trek, the Beers On Me Tour. Opening acts Ashley McBryde and Travis Denning are slaying it every night, according to Dierks, and he’s enjoying watching them perform and succeed.

“I feel like Travis Denning is super underrated,” says Dierks. “He’s such a great singer, great guitar player and a great lead singer of his band. He’s got a rockin’ band out there on the road, and just super funny. And I’m so enjoying watching his success and seeing him out there on the road every night. He gets the crowd rockin’, and (I’m) looking forward to seeing him continue to get bigger and bigger in this business.”

“Ashley McBryde is just a great singer, great songwriter and has a great attitude, and she’s just super authentic, if I could use one word to describe her,” he says. “And I feel so lucky to get to watch her show, be inspired by it and then get a chance to go out there and try to follow her. She does a great job.”

The next stops on the Beers On Me Tour is Thursday (July 28th) in Concord, California, Friday (July 29th) in Sacramento, California and Saturday (July 30th) in Stateline, Nevada.

Dierks is also getting ready to follow his 21st career No. One at Country radio “Beers On Me,” with his brand new single, “Gold,” which will be released this Friday (July 29th).
