Bentley revs up for charity ride

Thursday, August 29, 2013 – Dierks Bentley is revving up for his eighth annual "Miles & Music for Kids" celebrity motorcycle ride and concert set for Sun., Nov. 3 in Nashville.

The event benefits Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. Jake Owen and Easton Corbin are the first announced special guests to join Bentley for the all-star concert.

"This is honestly the most fun day of my year, and it brings the whole community together for a great cause," said Bentley. "We got rained out last year for the first time, so I want to make up for it in a big way. The lineup is going to be killer, and it'll be a fun way to kick off a big week that celebrates country music with the CMA Awards just a few days later."

Presale tickets are available beginning Sept. 4 on www.dierks.com and general public tickets go on sale Sept. 6 at 11 p.m. eastern through Ticketmaster.

Since first hitting the pavement in 2006, Bentley has visited seven cities to raise more than $2 million for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals across the country.

Fans can purchase a combo ticket for the ride and concert for $50 or individual concert tickets for $30. Special VIP packages are also available.

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.
