Bentley headlines Arizona firefighters benefit

Tuesday, July 9, 2013 – Dierks Bentley will make a special trip to his home state this month to headline the Country Cares Concert, benefiting The Granite Mountain Hotshots on July 22 at Tim's Toyota Center in Prescott Valley.

The New KMLE Country @ 107.9 and 92.9 KAFF Country organized the concert to raise money for the families of the 19 firefighters who lost their lives in last week's wildfires. Tickets will go on sale this Friday, July 12 at 1 p.m. eastern at KMLE1079.com and at Tim's Toyota Center box office.

"I want to help honor the memory of these 19 brave firefighters, to be part of the healing process for the community and to raise money for the families left behind," said Bentley. "I was and still am devastated by this tragic event in my home state. I certainly can't imagine what these families are enduring, but I do believe in the healing power of music and hope as many Arizonans as possible can come out and be part of this event."

"We hope this benefit concert gives everyone affected by this tragedy the opportunity to come together and heal," said KMLE Country @ 107.9 Program Director Tim Richards. "We want to raise as much money as possible to help the families of these amazing heroes."

Fans and community members will have the chance to purchase tickets to the concert and special VIP packages with all proceeds going to the United Phoenix Firefighters Charities who will distribute directly to the families of the 19 fallen firefighters, who left behind 51 children.

CD review - Black Dierks Bentley seems intent on expanding his musical boundaries, but he may have overreached too much in eschewing where he came from. That most evident by the dominating textured beats. Producer Ross Copperman and Bentley seem hell bent on injecting odd meters and sounds, sharp detours from past efforts. 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." On the personal front, he lost his father and added to his family, clearly affecting the subject matter of his latest. On the musical front, he traded long-time producer Brett Beavers, producer of every disc except "Up on the Ridge," for Ross Copperman, who has enjoyed more success as a writer, including several previous tracks for Bentley.
