The first leg of the tour will kick off May 9 in Charlotte, NC and continue through the year. Special guests include Chris Young, Chase Rice and Jon Pardi. Fans can purchase tickets beginning Jan. 24 for select cities as part of tour promoter Live Nation’s Country Megaticket at www.Megaticket.com Additional ticket information will be available in the coming weeks at www.dierks.com. “This tour is the culmination of everything I've been working on for the past two years, both out on the road and in the studio recording RISER,” said Bentley. "I know what my fans want: a kick ass show, an affordable ticket and a good parking lot scene to get the pre-gaming going! The guys opening the show and getting the party started all know how to put on a great live show, and when it comes time for my set, I can promise that we are going big! I have never been more excited about a tour.” With ten years experience honing his stage skills, Bentley's live show continues to catch the attention of critics, who have called it “dynamic” and note his continued devotion to interacting with the fans and creating “a nearly nonstop, high energy affair heavy with hits” (Reading Eagle).

In the tweet he said "watching football with my buddy knox. he wants me to give a shout out to @LBTmusic for his new duds..." We think it's pretty cool that Dierks, who actively tweets his fans, choose social media as the place to introduce the world to his son.
Photo credit Dierks Bentley on WhoSay On Friday, Mercury Nashville recording artist Easton Corbin shipped his brand-new song “Clockwork” to country radio. During the eight o’clock hour the nationally syndicated morning program, The Bobby Bones Show, gave “Clockwork” its world premiere. Easton has etched a name for himself as a traditionalist staying true to the sound of those who influenced him including George Jones and Merle Haggard. "Clockwork" was written by Easton’s longtime producer, Carson Chamberlin as well as Ashley Gorley and Wade Kirby. “Clockwork” is the first song off Corbin’s third album due later this year. “I’m very, VERY excited to have new music out now for my fans. I’m excited especially to release a song like “Clockwork,” says Easton. He adds “A song like ‘Clockwork’ is a good reflection of my country roots and it shows that I’m growing as an artist. I think when my fans hear this song they will get a good taste of how my upcoming album is going to be.” Easton can currently be found on the We Are Pioneers World Tour with The Band Perry. Over the next three months Easton will cover North America with them, performing in 30 cities. You can watch Day 5 of the teaser reveal below. Have you heard the song yet? What do you think? |
