His “Poignant” (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Upcoming Album
NASHVILLE,
TN – May, 16, 2016 – Multi-PLATINUM singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley
serves as “a rarity” in Country music as he “sells out enormous tours
and earns critical acclaim without compromising his artistic vision” (Entertainment Weekly),
which is apparent as he commands the No. One spot for a second
consecutive week on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase
radio charts with his 14th career chart-topper “Somewhere On A Beach.”
The GOLD lead single from his forthcoming studio album BLACK (Capitol Records Nashville), out May 27,
served as a standout this past weekend as Bentley’s SOMEWHERE ON A
BEACH TOUR hosted more than 40,000 fans for its opening run.

“This
weekend was the pinnacle of everything we’ve been working on for
basically the entire past year,” said Bentley. “We’ve been hunkered down
in the studio all winter finishing the record and moved straight into
the rehearsal space to build the tour. It all came together this weekend
to some of the loudest crowds I’ve ever heard…they definitely set the
bar hight, but I have a feeling it’s only going to get rowdier from
here!”

“It’s
different – far better, even – than anything Bentley has done.
That’s saying something, considering ‘Riser” was up for country album
of the year at this year’s Grammy Awards.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer

“An eighth studio album that takes a deep, dark dive into relationships, from the initial glow to the messy, shadowy parts.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“Bentley,
who nicely straddles the line between new and classic country, goes
deep on ‘Black,’ exploring adult themes with a deft touch and artful
hand. He has a rich, warm tenor voice with a dusty drawl, and applied
here, it has suitable gravitas for the situation.” – Asbury Park Press
