BETHEL WOODS – The historic music venue brought historic energy for Dierks Bentley’s Gravel & Gold Tour Friday night in Bethel, NY.

Award-winning country music artist Dierks Bentley threw a party for country music fans, which had the audience on their feet, holding their drinks high all summer night. Bentley has reached 18 No. 1 singles on the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts, and it was clear the packed house knew every single one of them.

When Bentley isn’t performing for fans in Bethel, New York, you can find him and his band playing with pickles and balls… well, we mean Pickleball. When giving his band a shout-out during the show, it was clear who takes the game too seriously. We won’t say names. Bentley also gave a shout-out to his VIP manager, Michael Morales, who happens to be from Upstate New York. Mike graduated from Suny Oneonta and became a part of the Bentley team earlier this year.

It’s clear that Bentley isn’t just an award-winning singer and songwriter but also a natural entertainer. The effort to produce a pure character on stage has been unmatched by any show this year. His one-of-a-kind show has an encore that will have you trying to catch your breath from singing and laughing along. We won’t give away any secrets, other than it’s a must-see skit where the band ‘Hot Country Knights’ makes a guest appearance. If you haven’t heard of them before, they have written every single country song that exists and has clearly been robbed by every other artist… Like Jordan Davis…

Speaking of Jordan Davis, he was one of the two openers for the show and brought a packed setlist. The multi-platinum artist won CMA Song of the Year last year and set the tone for Bentley. American rock band, The Cadillac Three, kicked the night off at 7pm and didn’t shy away from getting the party started. If you have yet to find a tour date, be sure to get a ticket today. Their show is nothing short of GOLD.
