Dierks Bentley can’t wait to hit the road on his Beers On Me Tour, due in part to his opening acts, Parker McCollum and Riley Green.

“I’m so thankful, so happy to have Parker McCollum and Riley Green out there on the road with me. I like their music. I just think they both make really compelling music and when you’re out on the road, it’s a chance to be a fan as well as a singer,” says Dierks. “I get to go out there and watch these guys play every night and get inspired by what they’re doing. It helps me walk out on stage with a lot of energy and with a lot of trying to beat them. Not that we’re competitive, but they’ve gone out there and rocked the show. I know they both can ‘cause I’ve seen ‘em before so I have to go out there and try to beat them in some way and that’s great for the crowd when the artists are all playing off of each other and trying to step it up after seeing the other guy take the stage and I just love the music they make. So, it’s gonna be a fun summer for me and my band, getting a chance to watch these guys and learn from these guys side stage and hopefully, give them a great concert and tour experience throughout the summer, and I think the fans are gonna love it.”

Dierks is closing in on the top of the country charts with his latest song “Gone.”
