Dierks Bentley will be joining Jim Beavers (“Felt Good On My Lips” recorded by Tim McGraw), Jaren Johnston (“You Gonna Fly” recorded by Keith Urban), and Bob DiPiero (“You Can’t Take the Honky Tonk Out of the Girl” recorded by Brooks & Dunn) at the CMA Songwriters Series taking place on September 13, 2012 at New York City’s Joe’s Pub. DiPiero is hosting the series which gives music fans a look behind the scenes at the stories that inspired some well-known songs.
“The CMA Songwriter series is a really cool gig,” said Bentley. “Joe’s Pub is so intimate and the audience is a huge part of those shows because they’re so close. It’s like everybody in the room is in on a secret or something. You’ve got four guys with guitars, telling stories and drinking whiskey…anything can happen!”
More on Dierks Bentley [Courtesy of CMA]: CMA Award-winning singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley has forged his own brand of Country Music combining classic Country songwriting, influences of bluegrass instrumentation and the energy of rock & roll. He recently made plans to toast the end of summer with the release of a four-song EP titled Country & Cold Cans available Aug. 21 on iTunes, while simultaneously kicking off tailgating season with a limited Country & Cold Cans: Back To College Tour.
The new music follows Bentley’s sixth studio album Home, released earlier this year, which debuted at No. 1 and has spawned three chart-topping hits marking 10 career No. 1 songs as a singer and songwriter. His five previous studio albums have sold over five million copies and garnered an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry.
