Dierks Bentley

The Boot has a story about Dierks Bentley, and it appears that fans will be getting a double dose of Dierks in 2010. Fresh off the American Saturday Night Tour with Brad Paisley, Dierks is looking forward to taking some time off to create some new music. Not only will Dierks create the good ole country music fans know and love, but Dierks will dig deeper into his roots and create a full bluegrass album.

Nashville is my hometown; I’ve been here 15 years, so I know a bunch of the grassers, a lot of the country guys, a lot of songwriters and musicians,” Dierks explains. “Every album I’ve done has a bluegrass song on it, so it’s not a surprise that one day I might make a bluegrass record. It would be a cool thing for me.”

Dierks also spoke of some future touring plans, which include another High Times and Hangovers Tour.

That’s where we go out and do small rock bars and get down and dirty,” he reminds The Boot. “But this will be the first time Cody (Cody Canada, lead singer for Cross Canadian Ragweed) hears about it because I haven’t called him about doing it. I’d like to do that with them sometime in the spring, then hit the fairs and festivals in the summer and do a headline tour next fall.”
