Close-up shots of the bubbly cold stuff combined with a montage of Bentley rocking out on stage and in the studio will make you want to stop what you're doing, kick back and crack open a cold one. As if the song isn't obvious enough, in the video for 'Grab a Beer,' Bentley has no qualms about demonstrating how much he loves a cold beer.
As fall approaches, Dierks Bentley begins readying his annual Miles and Music for Kids charity motorcycle ride and concert event. This year’s event is set for Sunday, October 14, 2012 in Nashville, and Bentley will be accompanied by some of his famous pals, including Brantley Gilbert, Chris Young, Sheryl Crow, the Cadillac Black and Craig Campbell.
Dierks Bentley has done something interesting with his new single ‘Tip It on Back’ from the ‘Home’ album. The singer marries the spirit of songs like ‘Free and Easy’ — and more recently, ‘Am I the Only One’ — with the sexy pace of his most famous ballads (think ‘Come a Little Closer’ and ‘Feel That Fire’).

Even if you’re not a fan of Showtime’s hit series, ‘Weeds,’ you’re probably familiar with its theme song, ‘Little Boxes.’ Even hearing a few bars of the little ditty will have you humming the tune all day long. During ‘Weeds” second and third seasons, a number of artists covered the catchy tune for the show. Now, it’s about to become even more of an earworm since Dierks Bentley has agreed to record a country version of the song for the series’ eighth season!
Music isn’t the only thing Dierks Bentley is creating these days. The ’5-1-5-0′ singer is set to release a special Dierks Bentley Custom Signature Edition guitar, which will be made available to the public later this month.
Dierks Bentley‘s father, Leon Bentley, died on Friday, June 1. The singer was forced to cancel shows beforehand, and in the wake of his dad’s death, tweeted the news to fans, thanking them for their support. He also took a moment to reflect on the fact that his father was his biggest influence in country music, since his dad’s listening habits turned him onto the genre as a young kid.
Sad news. Our thoughts and prayers are with him.
Sadly, the latest leg of Dierks Bentley‘s Country and Cold Cans Tour came to an end over the weekend. But if you think Bentley spent the last few days leading up to the last show online trying to find the perfect “thank you” gift for his opening acts, you’d better think again. Instead, Bentley decided to pull out the pranks, with the victims being the members of the Cadillac Black.
