Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will feature Dierks Bentley in their next special exhibit, open to the public March 4 through September 6. Bentley will appear at the 800-seat CMA Theater on March 12 for a conversation and performance – for those not in Nashville, the event will live-stream through the museum’s website. The 40-year old artist capped 2015 with the final single from his eighth studio album, title track “Riser,” and recently announced his new album Black is in the works with lead single “Somewhere On A Beach.” Riser charted three airplay #1’s – “I Hold On,” “Drunk On A Plane,” and “Say You Do” – and helped solidify his status as one of the most impressive artists in country.
“It’s crazy to be considered for something like this,” shares Bentley. “The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is home to the most revered and influential country artists of all time. Just being in the building as a visitor is humbling, but to actually be featured in one of the museum’s exhibits is something I never would have believed if you’d suggested it back when I started chasing this dream down on Broadway. I’m going to have to go down there to see it for myself to really make it sink in.”
“A master of reinvention, Dierks continues to confound our expectations with music that resonates, both commercially and critically,” says museum CEO Kyle Young. “Every mile, every day, every song in Dierks’ remarkable career creates new memories for him and for his fans. I know our visitors will enjoy getting a peek inside some of those memories.”
