Dierks Bentley, Eric Church & Patty Griffin Take LA Head On – A Fan Review

Posted by Country Girl on December 11th, 2009

Dierks Bentley

Last night country music superstar Dierks Bentley graced the Wiltern Theatre stage in Los Angeles. His opening guest was no less of an amazing artist, Eric Church.

Eric and his band rocked the crowd with their true to the bone lyrics, guitars, and banjos. The crowd was already going crazy even before Dierks hit the stage. In the middle of his set Eric said tot he crowd, ‘We came here to party with ya’ll tonight, drink beer, play our guitars, and sing songs that are true.’ The comment made me realize that is what country music is all about and why there are so many dedicated fans. Once Eric finished his set, he humbly thanked the crowd and left everyone in anticipation for Dierks.

The lights brightened and the stage crews bustled about the stage recreating the set for the superstar. A short agonizing wait later, the lights went down and a video shows up of Dierks, he then comes on the mic and asks ‘Hope ya’ll are ready for a party?’ The crowd went crazy as he and his band-mates appeared on stage and cranked up the sound. The entire show was upbeat, in your face and pure Dierks Bentley. He made a comment about his recent recording with long-time song-writer, Patty Griffin. The song ‘Beautiful World’ has had a grammy nod recently, and the duet performed the song the night before on the ‘George Lopez Show’. No one was expecting it but Dierks introduced the talented Ms. Griffin and she gracefully walked out to join him for a Johnny Cash song, they later performed their recent recording of ‘Beautiful World’.

Towards the end of his set Dierks invited Eric back out onstage, and it was clear he had been having a good time backstage. They sang a few more songs for the crowd and obviously, unwillingly exited the stage. The ambiance of the Wiltern, the talented musicians and of course the raw voices that make country so real made the entire night an unforgettable event.

A true country music fan,
Stephanie Stiefel

Dierks Bentley to Perform on Lopez Tonight

Posted by TawnyTucker on December 7th, 2009

Dierks Bentley

On Tuesday, December 8th at 10pm CST; Dierks Bentley will be joined by Patty Griffin to perform their Grammy-nominated song, “Beautiful World” on Lopez Tonight on TBS.

It’s a fine line to walk because you don’t want to act like everything is great when it’s not, but the point is that if you choose to believe in something, hopefully your beliefs will lead to action. Patty’s voice adds so much depth that I can’t even remember what the original version sounded like,” explains Bentley. “It’s really cool that the Lopez folks are going to let us perform it on their show…it will be the first time Patty and I have ever performed it live together.”

“Beautiful World” was recently offered as a free download in support of CMT ONE Country. Dierks is currently taking his Miles and Music for kids motorcycle ride nationwide to raise money for local children’s hospitals. The Nashville and Phoenix events have raised over $400,000.
