“I'm part of the party, getting the crowd fired up, singing songs, pouring drinks…” — Dierks Bentley

Where I'm at in my relationship with my wife or my family and life in general, I feel like it all comes out in the music. Hopefully, it's always there, but in an ambiguous and abstract way and not real straightforward.

I never want to lose the audience's attention or break up the party, but at the same time, it would be weird not to do some new music.

Most of my read on America is through looking through the front windshield of a bus and hanging out with country music fans backstage.

When you go to the Opry for a show or hear it on the radio, you get the whole circle of country music.
