" - Dierks Bentley " In my 30s, I became more open to music other than country or bluegrass. " - Dierks Bentley " I like big shows, a lot of volume and a lot of energy. I love electric instruments. But I do love mixing those with bluegrass instruments and cranking those up, too, with a little bit of that rock energy. " - Dierks Bentley " It’s hard to make music when you’re not excited about it. So trying new things and going for new things is something that I can enjoy doing. " - Dierks Bentley " I try to make sure to get off the bus as much as I can, try to do something during the day that’s local to where I am, whether it’s hiking or fishing. " - Dierks Bentley
