Dierks Bentley Goes ‘Unplugged’

Posted by TawnyTucker on May 25th, 2012

Dierks Bentley is an accomplished singer/songwriter accustomed to performing his unique blend of country meets bluegrass in packed houses across the country. The superstar recently stopped by CMT’s Nashville studio to film a new episode of UNPLUGGED, debuting exclusively on CMT.com on Tuesday, May 29 at 2:00 p.m. ET. Bentley’s set list includes his bluegrass spin on Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain,” along with hits from his critically-acclaimed album Home “5-1-5-0,” “Am I the Only One,” “Up on the Ridge” and “Home.”

“I love breaking my songs back down to their original acoustic foundation,” said Bentley about performing on the iconic series. “When I write these songs by myself or with friends, we just use acoustic guitars… so, it’s fun to sometimes go back to just the simple groove and idea you had to begin with.”

The episode will also air as a half-hour special on Palladia (Saturday, June 2nd at 9 p.m. ET), CMT (Monday, June 25th at 10 a.m. ET/PT) and CMT PURE (Monday, June 25th at 9 p.m. ET/PT). In addition, more than 700,000 fans on CMT’s Facebook page can view Bentley’s episode of UNPLUGGED in a dedicated tab available on Tuesday, May 29th.

State Farm is the exclusive digital sponsor of UNPLUGGED. MTV Music Group announced earlier this year that its Grammy® and Emmy® award-winning series, Unplugged would return for the 2012 season with eight episodes spanning across MTV Music Group’s multiple screens and platforms, including CMT, MTV and VH1.

Posted by Country Girl on May 20th, 2012

Jana Kramer

10. If there is one tour to be an opening act, it is for Brad Paisley. @KramerGirl found that out this weekend “@bradpaisley took us to go see the Avengers after the show tonight!! Thanks Brad!!”

9. Having seen @FrankieBallard’s live show, I don’t think he needs a gym membership – every night is a workout “Gotta new gym membership today…left with useless arms and a gladiator like appetite…let’s get ripped”

8. The tales of a teenager from @Lauren_Alaina “I don’t have Ex’s I have Y’s. Like Y the heck did I date you?!?! #truth”

7. Cupid aka @BrettEldredge set up a blind date last week. Here is his update on the couple “Just met the people I matchmakered & they have more chemistry then my high school Chem teacher! That guy really knew his protons & neutrons”

6. One year ago it all started for @ScottyMcCreery – tours, platinum albums, shows, etc. “Crazy to think that 1 year ago today was one of the best days of my life.”

Dierks Bentley on WhoSay
5. @DierksBentley has always supported the armed services. He did just that this week. “best way to get pumped up before a show??? hang out with some navy seals!!”

4. Having been performing for over a decade, @BradPaisley doesn’t have any ‘cobwebs’ in his show “As a crowd St. Louis, you were spot on. So great. We the band, on the other hand, we need to get the cobwebs out. Hope you loved it though!”

3. It is now time for an insight to pregnancy from @MartinaMcBride “This pressure to “take off the babyweight”so soon after birth is crazy.I say,all u should worry about is nurturing yourself and your baby.”

2. @BlakeShelton rarely opens up to the fans, but seeing this reminds us all what’s important “Strange how when you come to a sudden stop that long line of things you’ve been trying to out run slams right back into you.. I miss my dad.”

1. Starting as a prom contest, @LadyAntebellum had no idea that they would be changing a community forever. “What a great night with an incredible community. Over $285,000 raised. Thank you for #RebuildingHenryville with us!!”

Dierks Bentley Isn’t Sayin Who He’ll Be Cheering For

Posted by TawnyTucker on May 1st, 2012

Dierks Bentley

Dierks Bentley is enjoying a couple days off at home with the family. He celebrated his latest No. 1 single, “Home” over the weekend after cheering on his wife, Cassidy, at the Music City Marathon on Saturday. This week, Dierks will be cheering on one of two teams as the Stanley Cup play-offs head to Nashville.

“I’m a Preds fan, I go to a lot of games, but I’m from Phoenix, and I love the Coyotes too. I don’t want to be a politician, but I’m excited for both cities. I’m going to the game Wednesday night, hope no one sees what jersey I’m wearing, I love them both. Been to a lot of Preds game, excited for both cities.”

So, my challenge to you all is…GET A PICTURE OF DIERKS IN WHICHEVER JERSEY HE’S SPORTIN!!
