Nothing says summertime like great music and a big Memorial Day party! Roll down the windows, turn up the sound, and celebrate the start of the summer season with Westwood One and country music star Dierks Bentley!

Hot off the heels of winning a 2015 ACM Award for “Video of the Year” for his song “Drunk on a Plane,” Bentley will host Westwood One’s four-hour Memorial Day Country special featuring his pals Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, and more.  The gang will provide the music and share stories about their favorite summertime activities.

The special will also pay tribute to our military heroes who died while serving our country.  In addition, Bentley will share some tidbits about his 40-city Sounds of Summer tour, which kicks off June 5 in Raleigh, NC and will also feature Kip Moore, Maddie & Tae, and Canaan Smith.



Seven albums into one of country music’s most-respected and most-unpredictable careers, award-winning singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley continues to grow. The singer/songwriter's critically acclaimed album RISER, which has "elevated him above the rest of the country pack" (People) has already spawned three consecutive Platinum certified #1 hits with "I Hold On," "Drunk On A Plane” and “Say You Do.” Bentley's six previous studio albums have sold more than five million copies, notched 13 chart-topping singles, earned 12 GRAMMY nominations, countless CMA, ACM and CMT nominations, and membership at the Grand Ole Opry.
