Dierks Bentley, a luminary in the country music scene since his 2003 debut, has announced the “Gravel & Gold Tour,” which will make its way to the Carolinas.
Bentley crafted an illustrious career marked by 20 country No. 1s and nine studio albums, seven of which ascended to the summit of the U.S. country LP charts. His musical odyssey reflects versatility, exemplified by audacious choices such as the bluegrass-themed album “Up on the Ridge” in 2010, a genre that deeply resonated with him. His pursuit of authenticity in Nashville led him to the Station Inn, where the soul-stirring sounds of a five-piece bluegrass band left an indelible mark.
In 2005, Bentley became one of the Grand Ole Opry’s youngest members and claimed the CMA Horizon Award. His accolades include two CMA, CMT, and ACM awards, and he received the Academy of Country Music’s “Merle Haggard Spirit Award” in 2018. His latest release, “The Mountain,” signifies artistic exploration inspired by the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
