One artist with a whole lotta class and talent is Dierks Bentley.  I've liked him since I first heard, What Was I Thinkin'.  His work ethic has made him the country superstar he is today.  When stars take their talent and parlay it into helping charity events,  I sit up and take notice.  

Dierks Bentley is involved with "Miles & Music For Kids" which began in 2006 in Nashville as a motorcycle ride and concert event benefiting Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. Since that time the event has raised more than half a million dollars. Events will follow the same successful formula as previous events, including a motorcycle ride starting at a local dealership and following a specific route in each city, ending at a concert venue for a 2 - 3 hour concert featuring Bentley and friends. Past events have included performances by country superstars including Tim McGraw, John Rich, Jason Aldean, Jamey Johnson, and comedian Jeff Foxworthy, among others.  Local event details will be announced by market at a later date.  

Dierks has been a great supporter of Children's Hospital in Tennessee over the past several years. CMT ONE COUNTRY has partnered with Dierks and the Children's Miracle Network.  This support will reach more of the 17 million children treated each year at Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. He'll be helping to make miracles happen for kids across the country."

Atta Boy Dierks!
