Dierks Bentley and Brooks & Dunn were honored with the CMA International Artist Achievement Award during their Australian Tour on May 6th for their contributions to country music overseas. 

“It’s fantastic to be recognized by the CMA after all my international touring in Japan, Europe and now Australia – this is very cool,” said a surprised Bentley.

Dierks has recently traveled to Japan and Europe as well as Australia to play for his fans.  Brooks & Dunn were equally as surprised with the award.

“Halfway around the world, it is easy to say, but it takes an amazing amount of coordination and commitment from so many people to pull it off, and ultimately, and most importantly, the support from the fans,” Brooks said. “As usual, we get to just walk out on stage and do our thing, but it’s hard not to stand there in Sydney, or wherever, and go, ‘Wow, how did this happen?!’ Thanks so much to everyone who shared this experience with us!”

Congrats Guys!!!  You so deserve it!
