Dierks Bentley recruits legendary musician for epic passion project | Music City Minute

Well, well, well, look who is living their bluegrass dream! One of Colorado’s (favorite) adopted sons, Dierks Bentley, will be heading out on tour this summer with the legendary Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder. Needless to say, Bentley’s hits are going to sound different on this tour – less contemporary and more like the mountain music that Grandma and Grandpa used to play. Interestingly, the idea to call the tour Off The Map was inspired by a composition of the same name from Bentley’s “Broken Branches” album. Moreover, the song itself refers to that one place where you can truly relax, forget about your worries and give your soul a good recharge. Now, you might be thinking Bentley is settling for a slowdown, but that assumption is a full bubble off plumb. In fact, I have heard the bluegrass remix of “Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go),” and I can assure you the show will deliver a high-energy vibe. The Off The Map tour has eleven dates and includes a stop in Colorado Springs, July 2 at the Ford Amphitheater. Tickets for this one-of-a-kind Bentley show have already gone on sale.
