Pop country singer and songwriter, Dierks Bently moves into the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion this weekend with Brothers Osborne and Lanco as his opening concert performers.
Bently's ninth studio album has been out since June with the country performer promoting it with his festival and concert appearances.
Bently's Labor Day weekend was at the Seven Peaks festival in Buena Vista,CO. an event he helped bring to life. Bently recently told Forbes.com contributor, Jim Ryan,“I don’t know of another festival that has seven 14,000-foot mountains that surround the area,” said O’Connell of the festival’s Colorado home within the Rockies.
"Every record needs to be different. It needs to stand up on its own. I'm not from the
south. I can't make records that draw upon certain southern ideas and lifestyles and nostalgic things. I don't have that crutch, which can be fortunate in some ways. It forces me to work a little harder, I think. If it's a sound or an idea or a song, I need to find something that's gonna give me the inspiration to jump off of. With this album, a lot of it [started] at Telluride, the bluegrass festival. I played a show there. Sam [Bush] and Tim [O'Brien] and Jerry [Douglas] and the [Travelin'] McCourys all got up with me. Chris Thile got up with me. It was an awesome set."
