*Note: This is the new show date for the postponed Dierks Bentley show

The last few years have seen Dierks Bentley emerge as the hottest young star in
country music. With two Platinum® albums – 2003’s DIERKS BENTLEY and 2005’s chart-topping MODERN DAY DRIFTER and a long list of honors, he has established himself as one of the most acclaimed artists in music today. In just one year, he jumped from winning the 2005 CMA Horizon Award to a 2006 CMA Male Vocalist of the Year nomination. He also won the ACM Top New Artist Award in 2004 and went on to receive a nomination for the 2005 ACM Top Male Vocalist Award. After two tours of duty on the George Strait tour and three for Kenny Chesney – he makes the leap to the next level as a
touring artist when he launches his first major headlining tour.

Meanwhile, his blistering live show and marathon touring schedule – he
spent over 300 days on the road last year – has earned him a reputation as
one of the hardest workers in the business. With the release of LONG TRIP
ALONE, Bentley keeps that momentum rolling, building on the rock-solid
base he’s been amassing while expanding his music with newfound range
and depth.

“We aren’t scared to have albums that are always a little different from the
ones before,” he says. “We want to break people’s expectations, without
straying too far from who we are. I put a lot of pressure on myself as far as
upping the ante on every show. Every night’s gotta be better than the night
before, and every record has to be a step up from the one before.”
