Bentley rides on

Monday, August 13, 2012 – Dierks Bentley's "Miles & Music for Kids" will be back in October in Nashville with a ride and concert including Sheryl Crow and Chris Young.

Bentley's celebrity motorcycle ride and concert has held 12 events in 7 cities to raise more than $2 million for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals across the country. Bentley announced today that he is revving up for the seventh annual "Miles & Music for Kids" on Sunday, Oct. 14 in with tickets going on sale this Friday, Aug.17 at 11 a.m. eastern through TicketMaster.

The event begins in Columbia, Tenn. for an hour-long motorcycle ride ending at downtown Nashville's Riverfront Park. Following the ride, Bentley will host a family-friendly jam-style concert with special guests Crow, Young, Brantley Gilbert, The Cadillac Black and Craig Campbell all joining him on the ACM Lifting Lives main stage. More artist announcements will be made in the upcoming weeks.

"I really want to blow Miles & Music out this year and make it bigger than ever," said Bentley. "We've had the chance to help a lot of communities across the country, but the heart and soul of this event is in downtown Nashville with Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt and the artists and friends who come out and help us raise money. It's my favorite thing we do all year."

Fans can purchase tickets for the ride, concert and commemorative T-shirt for $50, or those looking to attend the concert only can purchase tickets for $20. Special VIP packages are also available. All proceeds from the event will benefit Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, a Children's Miracle Network Hospital.

Unfortunately, the atmospheric beats muddy up the vocal delivery on "Freedom," a song that stretches far too long at almost four minutes. Bentley also channels U2 with its ...
CD review - Riser Change was in store for Dierks Bentley when it came to recording his seventh album, "Riser."
