Dierks Bentley broke out in the country music scene with his 2003 debut hit single "What Was I Thinkin'" off his eponymous debut album. The Phoenix, Arizona-born artist's playful blend of country, rock and bluegrass shines on songs such as 2005's steamy ballad "Come a Little Closer," 2014's "Drunk on a Plane," and swooning duets like 2016's "I'll Be The Moon" with Maren Morris. With nine Top 10 albums under his belt and 15 Grammy nominations, the singer-songwriter has also spent most of the past two decades on the road, touring with the likes of Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley and Miranda Lambert, the latter with whom he hit the road on 2013's stacked Locked and Re-Loaded Tour. The "notorious road warrior" (Rolling Stone) -- now based in Nashville -- has completed over a dozen headlining tours that often evoke summer barbeques and high-energy tailgate parties. In February 2023, Bentley released his 10th studio album Gravel & Gold, peaking at No. 14 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. On February 14, 2025, Bentley released the single "She Hates Me," his first new single since 2023's "Something Real."
