Dierks Bentley is known for his laid-back performance style and drifter attitude, but that has all changed thanks to a special little package.
Bentley and his wife welcomed their first daughter, Evie, into the world five months ago, which has not only caused him to get a new look at life, but also has kept him at home playing the role of dad more often.
Bentley told national radio show GAC Nights: Live From Nashville, “I enjoy being [in Nashville] and being dad and getting to hang out with her. And she’s a great girl. She’s so, really funny, and she loves her dad and so she’s fun to be around."
Despite having a new, best-selling album, Bentley will only have 6 concerts in the month of April. However, he will then be headed to Australia for five shows with Brooks & Dunn, starting on May 1 in Perth.
