Ladies swooned as one of country music’s resident heartthrobs, Dierks Bentley, stepped up to the mic to deliver his chart-topper ‘Drunk on a Plane’ at the 2014 CMA Awards on Wednesday.
Dierks Bentley is nominated for a total of five big awards at the 2014 CMA Awards, but he remembers a time when it wasn't that easy for him to find his name in lights during Country Music's Biggest Night.
This week, Tim McGraw's 'Sundown Heaven Town' was released, and to the surprise of many Maine country fans, he has a song on the album titled 'Portland, Maine' to which the man in the song doesn't know where 'Portland, Maine' is...and doesn't want to know. What other country songs mention Maine, and even more specifically, Bangor, Maine?
Dierks Bentley is nominated for five CMA Awards, including one for Male Vocalist of the Year, making him the top male nominee. But of all his nominations -- which also include ones for Song of the Year, Single of the Year and Music Video of the Year -- he says it's the Album of the Year nod for his No.1 album 'Riser,' which was released earlier this year, that means the most to him.
To say Dierks Bentley has a generous heart is an understatement. After all, there aren't many country stars who would hand a guitar over to a 6-year-old kid during a live concert ... but Bentley did just that.
Labor Day weekend has come and gone, summer is un-officially over, but the country music is still hot! Here's the music that will usher in the cool fall days of September 2014!
