The 2016 ACM Awards are fast approaching, and new host Dierks Bentley has been given the honor of announcing the coveted nominations for some of the biggest categories of the event.
Dierks Bentley’s new single “Somewhere On a Beach” recalls his biggest hit from Riser. It’s fair to call the soulful country-blues song a sequel to “Drunk On a Plane.” The ballad details what happens once that plane lands.
Dierks Bentley’s new album title Black is both literal and metaphorical. The singer promises an album filled with dark moments, but also some sexy and quick-witted cuts. Once again it will be a very personal album.
Luke Bryan will return to host the 2016 ACM Awards, but Blake Shelton will not. A promo video for the 51st annual awards breaks the news of Shelton’s departure while teasing who Bryan’s on-stage buddy may be next April.
Four country superstars and a YouTube star have been added to a quickly growing list of 2015 CMA Awards performers. Florida Georgia Line, Little Big Town, Zac Brown Band and Dierks Bentley will take the Bridgestone Arena stage on Nov. 4. One will bring a special guest.
It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since Dierks Bentley burst onto the country music scene, but this week the artist is celebrating a decade of membership at the Grand Ole Opry. Bentley performed a unique show Sept. 29 commemorating his last 10 years, playing songs from “What Was I Thinkin’” all the way up to “Riser."
Taylor Swift invited Dierks Bentley to the stage at her concert in Kansas City Monday night (Sept. 21), where they performed his hit, "Every Mile a Memory."
