Dierks Bentley appears to be working very hard here over the next couple weeks. Along with that intense work load comes an awful amount of fun and benefits as well.

When one goes to a concert one is usually surrounded by opportunities to indulge in beverage consumption. More often than not, those beverages usually involve alcohol, and for me that beverage is usually a beer. On the plus side, my beer usually comes in a cup or glass. Dierks Bentley's offer of beer came in a slightly different package.

landed chicago. 15 shows in 18 days. first up: #countrythunder WI. last show, someone handed me a beer funnel. what do y'all got tonight?!?!

15 shows in 18 days might seem like a normal kind of run for someone to be touring. There is a lot more involved in the whole process than simply walking onto the stage and singing, however.

Shows involve lighting, sound, set up, stage, and all kinds of other work. Getting to a location, setting up, performing the show, and taking it all back down again can be a lot of work. So those 15 shows in 18 days as you can imagine are going to be awful wearing on anybody.

Most of these country boys (along with any music artist for that matter) more than likely will tell you that it is hard work, but they are enjoying every minute of it. That is what makes their concerts so special. If they didn't like it, they probably would not be all that exciting to watch now would they?
