Hi fans! I’m back with the 411 on the backstage happenings at the Dierks Bentley concert at the Colonial Center! Dierks and crew came through last night with special guest Jack Ingram.We started our night backstage at the meet and greet with the fans where we were able to take pictures and get autographs with Mr. Bentley himself. After that, we were invited into the band’s vibe room ‘aka’ Mick McCarthy’s Pub, which Dierks named himself. This is where the friends and family of the band hang out before and during the show.
Jack Ingram started the night with his new hit single, “Maybe She’ll Get Lonely” and the crowd went wild! Finally, after 5 years of anticipation, his fans can enjoy his new album, “This is It”. Last summer, Ingram’s single “Wherever You Are” landed at #1 on Billboard’s country singles chart. After his set, Jack walked off backstage by himself but his band shortly followed. I guess he needed some time to decompress after the show.
“Free and Easy” was the first thing that fans heard as Dierks burst onto the stage to kick off his “Throttle Wide Open Tour”. The crowd sang along with Dierk’s old so
ngs and got a sneak preview of songs from his upcoming album. After a couple of bluegrass songs, Dierks and the band ended the night in a collaborative cover of “Hank Done It” with Jack Ingram.After the show, Dierks and the band headed off to their trailer to change and relax before coming back into the arena to hang out with their family and closest friends. What a great show! Dierks and Jack Ingram both played long sets which the audience enjoyed.
Fan Feedback and Photos:
Brittany Harrison: "I had an absolute awesome time at the Dierks Bentley concert!! He puts on one hell of a concert!! It was awesome!! I tried and tried to win tickets but I never could. My sister won tickets off of the radio and then outside, she won 2 more. 5 minutes later, her boyfriend won 2 more so my boyfriend and I went. That is something I will never forget! The staff was great, anytime we were having problems with someone around us, they were right there to stop them. My all-time favorite part of the whole concert was when my sister and I got to touch Dierks!! That was definitely my favorite part!"

Deana Gatch: "Hello! I just wanted to tell you that the Dierks Bentley show was FANTASTIC. Dierks Bentley and Jack Ingram both did a wonderful job and I think the show was a huge success. I purchased my own tickets presale through the cyber club. My seats were great and the atmosphere was awesome. Everyone was so friendly and Dierks did a great job of keeping up the adrenaline and enthusiasm levels so no one was ever bored. I think I stood the whole time. I can't say enough good things about the show. I'm looking forward to next show at the Colonial Center! "
