Dierks Bentley

They may be stars now, but some of country music's most popular performers really paid their dues in their early days.

Dierks Bentley will be the first act ever to play at the historic stadium at the U.S. Military Academy.

A country music concert can be a full-contact sport!

He just couldn't resist!

The accident took place in Colorado, where Bentley was spending a few days off with family.

The singer tries to teach his kids to be present and live in the moment -- but sometimes, he says, they wind up teaching him just as much.

"You reigned in our house and in our hearts for 14 years."

This is awesome!

D'awwww!

This is going to be a close one for sure, Eric vs Dierks in the QTSO at 5 pm
