Dierks Bentley Headlines 2011 Jagermeister Country Tour

Dierks Bentley will celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year with several thousand of his fans, as March 17 is the official kick-off of the superstar's 2011 Jägermeister Country Tour.

Dierks is headlining the 30-city trek which runs through mid-May and will feature Josh Thompson and new duo Miss Willie Brown. Each concert will also include a local Jägermeister-sponsored country act on the bill.

"It's a good thing we've got a video crew on the road with us capturing everything that goes down," says Dierks. "Putting my band, Josh Thompson, the Miss Willie Brown girls and a few thousand fans in a Jägermeister sponsored room with loud country music sounds like a pretty solid recipe for a great night!"

The trek marks Jägermeister's 20th music tour. Pre-sale tickets are available to fan club members through Dierks' website. www.dierks.com. The general public will be able to purchase tickets beginning Jan. 21 and Jan. 28 through www.ticketmaster.com Ticketmaster. The remaining cities will go on sale over the next several weeks.

Dierks has been in the studio working on the follow-up to the triple-Grammy-nominated 'Up on the Ridge.' Josh Thompson is following up this year having played more than than 240 shows in 2010. And Miss Willie Brown (Amanda Watkins from West Virginia and Texas native Kasey Buckley), who are currently recording their debut with producer Keith Stegall (Zac Brown Band, Alan Jackson) are the only unsigned band to ever perform on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live.'
