What is Dierks Bentley Thankful For?

On this 2011 Thanksgiving Day, we have a lot to be thankful for! Namely, Dierks Bentley.  In a recent reply to his DB Congress, Dierks seems to feel the same way about us!

This year Dierks had a #1 with Am I The Only One, performed for sold out crowds, reached $1.7 for children's hospitals via Miles & Music For Kids, and sang for The President of the USA! 

From The Country Vibe:

On Thanksgiving when Dierks Bentley counts his blessings, the thing he will be most thankful for are his two healthy daughters, Evie and Jordan. “Coming off the Miles & Music event this year in Nashville and Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital and knowing how many families are going through tough times with health of their children. That’s the number-one blessing when you have kids is that they’re healthy,” says Dierks.

“Even when they have a mild cold, it’s like, ‘Aww, man. I feel so bad for them.’ I can’t imagine what those folks at Vanderbilt and St. Jude and all of those children’s hospitals across the country, what they’re going through on Thanksgiving. I’m sure they’re just happy to be together, and that’d be the same thing for me—just to be with my family and thankful for the blessings that I have.”

The men and women who are currently serving our country are the other people Dierks will be thankful for. He says, ”The second thing we will pray for is the troops and their families, the ones that are away from their families at Thanksgiving, the ones that are out there fighting on Thanksgiving Day so we can be back here and have that quality time, have that quiet time is definitely something we’re so appreciative of.”

Happy Thanksgiving to all our DB Congress Reps--thanks for your year-round dedication to Dierks!

We give thanks to all the band and crew who together display a great deal of talent to keep our president sounding and looking good--Chris, Britt, Jay, Brian, Steve, Tim, Dan and Cassady!

And finally, God Bless Dierks Bentley, his voice and powerful songwriting talent, and the man that he is. We love you! Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving From The Dierks Bentley Congress!

Happy Thanksgiving! On behalf of the 627 DB Congress representatives from all 50 United States, Mexico and Canada, to Europe, Asia and Australia, we wish you peace, prosperity and abundance!

Many times, Dierks has said he can't believe how his music has brought so many of us fan clubbers together and allowed us to meet and become best of friends. One time he even claimed we didn't need him anymore since we had each other. We quickly corrected him--yes we do!

We are especially thankful for Dierks and his entire team: Chris, Brittany, Jay, Morgan, Cassady, Tim, Steve, Dan, Brian and all the behind the scenes light and sound techs who make it possible for the band to look and sound great on stage every night! Thank you for enriching our lives!

We're thankful for Cassidy and Evie for sharing their husband and daddy with us!

Special congrats to Brian Layson (lead guitar) who is expecting a little one in the spring!

We would love to hear what everyone is thankful for! Please leave a comment!
