Dierks Gives Us a Sneak Peek of Upcoming EP and Tour

You'll see his dog Jake and daughter Evie in this sneak peek of Dierks Bentley's upcoming 4-track EP, and you'll hear a taste of all four songs.

"The EP is called Country & Cold Cans.  It's not rocket science, it's country music.  It's about country music and its about beer. And most of the songs on this EP are about those two subjects," Dierks tells us in the video below.

"What makes music fun for me is trying different things and just going down some new roads and definitely this EP is some new ground sonically for us...I really dig a little bit of the dirt and the grit on these recordings...I love trying different things, I am so appreciative of my fans letting me go different places..."
