Dierks Bentley’s Ridge Tour

Jessica Phillips | Published: Mar 15, 2010

Dierks Bentley will give fans a preview of music from his bluegrass/acoustic album Up On The Ridge when he embarks on a 24-date tour in April. The dates will include major festivals like Merlefest and Telluride. The Travelin' McCourys and Hayes Carll will serve as opening acts for the tour.

“The only way I know to explain what this new album is to all the fans is to just get out on the road and play it for them,” Dierks says. “I’ve been rehearsing and working on set lists already… every show is going to be different and really special. There aren’t any better acoustic musicians in the world than the Travelin’ McCourys, period. And I’ve been a big fan of Hayes for a long time. It’ll be a total blast…I’m already plotting and planning on how to fit more dates into the schedule!”
