Dierks Bentley and the world’s leading live entertainment company Live Nation hosted the eagerly-anticipated return of Seven Peaks Music Festival this Labor Day Weekend against the picturesque new location of Villa Grove, CO in the San Luis Valley. The three-day camping festival nurtured a feel-good atmosphere with surprise collaborations and spontaneous moments across the weekend.

During Friday’s ‘90s night, fans descended upon the new mountainous site to watch performances by Rapidgrass, The Frontmen (Richie McDonald, formerly of Lonestar, Larry Stewart of Restless Heart and Tim Rushlow, formerly of Little Texas) along with Tracy Lawrence. Bentley’s Hot Country Knights ended the weekend’s first night with a raucous set that even saw Tracy Lawrence return to the stage for a crowd singalong.

Campers returned on Saturday for a day stacked with spontaneous moments and collaborations. The festival’s second stage, known as “Whiskey Row Stage” also kicked off with performances by Alanna Springsteen, Jackson Dean, Rapidgrass, as well as a surprise Bluegrass pop-up set by Bentley.

Seven Peaks’ main stage lineup was also filled with high-energy sets by Boy Named Banjo, Travis Denning, Lainey Wilson and HARDY, who invited both Lainey Wilson and Bentley up for collaborations during his set. Headliner Morgan Wallen brought the house down during his eagerly-awaited performance. Fans then headed back to Whiskey Row Stage for a late night DJ set by Aydamn.

Sunday saw the festival reach a crescendo. Seven Peaks’ main stage was on fire with sets by Cailtyn Smith, Old Crow Medicine Show, Jordan Davis and Ashley McBryde. Whiskey Row Stage hosted Aaron Raitiere, Ashley Cooke, Kendell Marvell, The Red Clay Strays and Ray Fulcher. Bentley hopped up on stage a few times throughout the day during a mass singalong of “Wagon Wheel” with Old Crow Medicine Show and during The Red Clay Strays set.

The weekend came to a close with Bentley’s hit-stacked headlining performance, with the crowd roaring as he took to the stage for one last time. Ashley McBryde and Jordan Davis returned to the stage to perform with Bentley and then in true Seven Peaks fashion just as fans thought the night was over, surprise guest Peyton Manning appeared on stage. Manning invited Bentley’s Hot Country Knights back to the stage and the entire festival sang along to “Friends In Low Places” together.

Dierks Bentley has long been a Music Row standout for devotion to his roots in classic Country and bluegrass as his upcoming 10th album landmark speaks to how time has flown in Bentley’s unique, 21st-century career. He landed his first publishing deal in 2001 and released his debut album in 2003, producing an instant No. One single. The years since have revealed a rare consistency that’s fueled longevity – eight more albums that reached the top of the Country sales charts, resulting in 21 No. One songs, 6.4 billion streams, three CMA Awards, 14 GRAMMY® nominations and membership into the Grand Ole Opry. Trendy sounds have ebbed and flowed around him over these two decades, but fans have relied on Bentley for something more nourishing and individual. Bentley has never been so free to infuse his passions into music destined for the competitive commercial Country arena, which is evident through his new single “Gold” will build on that enviable legacy. He also has created professional endeavors outside of the music with his Flag & Anthem lifestyle collection Desert Son, along with his “Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row” franchise hosting four locations. Fans can currently find Bentley out on his BEERS ON ME TOUR and for more information visit www.Dierks.com.

Jon Pardi is getting ready to release his fourth studio album, Mr. Saturday Night, on Friday (September 2nd). The collection follows the California native’s critically acclaimed, ACM and CMA Album of The Year-nominated Heartache Medication. Tapping some of Nashville’s most esteemed songwriters for the forthcoming project, Pardi has teamed up again with Bart Butler and Ryan Gore to produce Mr. Saturday Night. Including his current No. 1 single “Last Night Lonely,” the album boasts 14 songs steeped in losing, a little loving and what’s in between.

“When the fans, when they listen to this record, I hope they go away with just another great record to listen to. Put it on (and) let it play from start to finish and rock out to every song,” says Jon. “I feel like emotionally the fans are gonna feel this record more than a lot of the past records.”

“A lot of these songs we’ve had on hold for two years, written for two years, one year,” he says. “We definitely took our time on this project and let Heartache Medication get through its final single and then BAM! Here’s Mr. Saturday Night. I love the title. I love all of the tracks, and I think everybody’s gonna dig it. But it all comes down to the song and the players and the production. It’s nothing crazy, but it’s definitely fresh for me and I feel like everyone’s gonna really love it.”

“We had such a blast creating ‘Off the Deep End.’ Hope this one gets you feeling a little wild whether it’s at the bar, at the pool, or you found your Boat Daddy for the summer! Life’s short – sometimes you gotta let your crazy side show!  I’ll be right there with y’all, Off the Deep End!” says Block.

Billboard says, “this song is further evidence of Block’s fully authentic, star-making ways,” while CMT calls the tune, written by Block with Martin Johnson, and Brandon Paddock, “…the ultimate summer jam. ‘Off The Deep End’ displays Block’s superstar potential, as she walks to the beat of her own drum by being unapologetically herself.”

Block is currently on her Welcome to the Block Party World Tour and her latest radio single, “My Bar,” is climbing Top 30. For more information, visit www.PriscillaBlock.com.

This weekend marks the return of Dierks Bentley‘s Seven Peaks Festival after a two-year absence. The three-day musical event will take place this Labor Day Weekend (September 2nd – September 4th) at the new location of Villa Grove, Colorado.

The re-launch of the festival is super satisfying for Dierks. “Anybody that knows me knows how important Seven Peaks has been to me and luckily I get to say will continue to be for me, because although COVID shut us out for two years and we had some difficulties working with the little city we were working with. It’s got new life going into 2022. Some huge acts, the biggest in the business, are gonna be there this year with us, this Labor Day Weekend in August and September. I’m so excited for Seven Peaks, I guess you could call it 2.0. You know we had a successful launch those first few years – in ’18 and ’19 – but obviously the pandemic messed up a lot of things. But the new location is killer. [It’s] right down the street from the old spot. The lineup is incredible, and that location! Getting a chance to spend your Labor Day weekend in the mountains of Colorado where it’s 70 (degrees) and sunny, just beautiful weather, and the vibe is so good. I’m just so thankful, not only as someone that’s involved with the festival and its success, but as a human being. There’s no place I’d rather be for my Labor Day Weekend than hanging out with my friends backstage, onstage, out there in the festival grounds with all these great fans than there. I’m so excited for the launch, THE Re-launch of Seven Peaks and so excited to see how the fans respond to it.”

Dierks has a packed schedule during the festival, but that’s just the way he likes it. Not only does he headline one night, but he’s also hosting the entire event, as well. “I almost forget that I’m playing the festival,” he says. “You know, I’m so busy running around and try for every band to just let them know, ‘Hey, I’m the guy that’s putting this on,’ and I’m not just backstage hanging on my bus. I go to see, I only missed like one or two performances in 2019, that’s just because of a meet and greet I was doing or something. So, I go watch everybody. You know, I get up on stage and I sing with a lot of people. I’m out in the campgrounds a lot, you know, and then all of a sudden, it’s like, Oh, Sunday night, like, I actually have to play a show to watch this year, like hosting this. I’m also like, I got to go up and do the whole thing, kind of switch gears.”

The lineup includes Morgan Wallen, with additional main stage performances by Boy Named Banjo, Ashley Cooke, Jordan Davis, Jackson Dean, Travis Denning, HARDY,  Kendell Marvel, Ashley McBryde, Old Crow Medicine Show, Caitlyn Smith, Rapidgrass, Alana Springsteen, Ray Fulcher, Kendell Marvel and Lainey Wilson, among others. Friday night of the festival will kick off with a special stacked lineup of 90’s acts including Hot Country Knights, Tracy Lawrence, The Frontmen and Pam Tillis, while AYDAMN will be deejaying throughout the weekend. Passes are now on sale at sevenpeaksfestival.com.

About Jon Langston:
Jon Langston grew up in Loganville, GA, listening to music by his heroes Alan Jackson and the Eagles. Earning a Division 1 college football scholarship, Langston always thought football would be a part of his life, but after his sixth concussion left him blind for fifteen minutes, his football career ended abruptly. He picked up his guitar – untouched since eighth grade – and re-taught himself how to play. Performing at open mic nights and honing his songwriting led to the 2013 release of self-penned, “Forever Girl,” the first song he ever wrote, and now certified GOLD by the RIAA. That release kicked off his music career, culminating in sold out shows across the country and over 500 million career streams. Once a fan attending Luke Bryan’s Farm Tour in Athens, GA, Langston experienced a full circle moment by joining Bryan on the Farm Tour in 2017 and 2018, and again as support on his Sunset Repeat Tour in 2019. Langston signed a publishing deal with Sony ATV, management with KP Entertainment, and is the first artist signed under Bryan’s label 32 Bridge Entertainment with EMI Records Nashville. He made his Grand Ole Opry debut in February, where he performed his single “Back Words.” Recent releases “Beers Got Drank” and “Back Words” follow tracks including “Happy Ever After,” “Try Missing You” and “When You’re Lonely,” highlighting his adept songwriting and classic country influences. He released his anticipated EP Now You Know in 2019, featuring six original songs he co-wrote. Langston’s debut major label single, “When It Comes To Loving You” hit No. 1 on the all-genre iTunes Chart and his single “Now You Know” reached the Top 30 on the country radio airplay charts. Catch Langston out on the road for his headlining BEERS GOT DRANK TOUR.

Jon Pardi’s latest smash and his fastest-rising single to date, “Last Night Lonely,” climbed to the top of both the Billboard and Country Aircheck country charts. The track was written by Joe Fox, Jimi Bell and Dylan Marlowe.

“Last Night Lonely” is the lead single from his upcoming fourth studio album, Mr. Saturday Night (which is available this Friday, September 2nd). Mr. Saturday Night is produced by Bart Butler, Ryan Gore and Pardi, the same team behind the boards of his ACM and CMA Album of The Year-nominated Heartache Medication. With 14 songs steeped in losing, a little loving and what’s in between, Pardi digs beneath the surface on Mr. Saturday Night, returning the genre to an era of buckle-polishing dancefloor encounters, yowling bar-room revelers and the occasional strong, silent type ballad.

Jon’s headlining AIN’T ALWAYS THE COWBOY TOUR continues September 8th in Rochester, Minnesota. For a full list of dates, and to purchase tickets to the Ain’t Always The Cowboy Tour, visit jonpardi.com/tour.
