American Country (& Cold Cans) Awards 2012

Dierks Bentley walked on stage in his wild stallions shirt, a step away from his usual white T, to perform at the American Country Awards, Monday, December 10th on FOX.  Earlier in the day, Dierks was debating wardrobe choices on Twitter for "Dr. Feasby," his bass player, Cassady Feasby:

Taste of Country blogged, "...Bentley was ready to rock out from the moment he walked on stage. Fortunately, his band was up for the task, too. While his band played perfectly in tune with ‘Country & Cold Cans,’ images of Bentley’s fans having a blast at his concerts played in the background."

Check out Dierks and the guys backstage and part of their "Country & Cold Cans" performance on DBTV Episode #88.  "Aw, Vegas! Raise 'em up!"
