“MILES & MUSIC FOR KIDS” PLANNED FOR SEPT. 28
Randy Houser, Kip Moore, Jon Pardi and Chris Young Are First Announced Artists

Nashville,
TN – July 8, 2014 – Flocks of Riser Birds began descending on Nashville
this week to help announce country music star Dierks Bentley’s ninth
annual “Miles & Music for Kids” celebrity motorcycle ride and
all-star concert scheduled for Sun., Sept. 28 in Nashville, TN. Randy
Houser, Kip Moore, Jon Pardi and Chris Young have been tapped as the
first artists to take part in the event, which has raised over $2.5
million to date for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals across the
country. Presale tickets are available beginning tomorrow, July 9 on www.dierks.com and general public tickets go on sale this Fri., July 11 at 10:00A CT.
“The Riser bird symbol we’ve been using to represent this album has
really come to mean something to my fans. I’ve been hearing stories
about it on the road, people are getting tattoos of it. It’s a symbol
of strength and resilience, and I think it’s perfect to extend into what
we do for Miles & Music, especially when we are talking about the
history of the event, the bikers and fans who come out every year to
support it and most importantly, the children and their families being
treated at Vandy. ” said Bentley. “The Riser Bird Movement that started
this week is a cool way to get the community involved in a deeper way
and earlier this year….it’s been fun to see it start to spread across
town.”
This year’s annual event will once again begin at the Harley Davidson of
Columbia (1616 HarleyDavidson Blvd., Columbia, TN) for an hour-long
ride that ends downtown at Nashville’s Riverfront Park. From Riverfront,
Bentley will take the stage for a family-friendly day of music with a
lineup that will continue to grow as the event approaches.
Fans can purchase a combo ticket for the ride and concert for $50 or
individual concert tickets for $30. Special VIP packages and student
tickets are also available. This month, Nashville residents can “Flock
It Forward” at
www.dierks.com/riserbirdmovement
by sending Riser Birds to their friends, also benefitting “Miles &
Music.” All proceeds from both events will benefit Monroe Carell Jr.
Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, a Children’s Miracle Network
