Born in 1975, country sensation Dierks Bentley started playing music in 2001. After signing to Capitol Nashville and releasing his self-titled debut album in 2003, which would eventually become certified platinum by the RIAA, his career started to pick up. He followed up with 2005's Modern Day Drifter, another platinum album, which was quickly followed by 2006's Long Trip Alone, which would be certified gold.
After releasing a greatest hits album in 2008 titled Greatest Hits/Every Mile a Memory 2003-2008, Dierks Bentley released his fourth album Feel That Fire (2009). The next year, Bentley switched it up and released an album with a more bluegrass sound titled Up on the Ridge. He returned to the more traditional country style with 2012's Home and continued with this on 2014's Riser. From then, he would release three more albums in Black (2016), The Mountain (2018) and his most recent Gravel & Gold (2023).
Out of his 27 singles that charted, Dierks Bentley has had 18 number one singles including his debut "What Was I Thinkin". He currently has received 14 Grammy nominations as well as 27 Country Music Association Award nominations of which he won three. He has also appeared on several TV shows including CMT Crossroads, The Voice, and co-hosted the Academy of Country Music Awards.
