Dierks Bentley performs onstage at the 2014 CMA Festival on June 5, 2014 in Nashville, Tennessee.
The 2014 event will kick off at the Harley Davidson of Columbia (1616 HarleyDavidson Blvd., Columbia, TN) with an hour-long ride that ends downtown at Nashville’s Riverfront Park. From Riverfront, Bentley and his musical friends will take the stage for a family-friendly day of music for a great cause.
Fans can purchase a combo ticket for the ride and concert for $50 or individual concert tickets for $30. Special VIP packages and student tickets are also available. Tickets will go on sale to the public on Friday, July 11 at 10:00 a.m. CT.
During the month of July, Nashville residents can "Flock It Forward" at www.dierks.com/riserbirdmovement by sending Riser Birds to their friends. All proceeds from both the ride and "Flock It Forward" will benefit Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, a Children's Miracle Network Hospital.
In a press release, Dierks talked about how the Riser Bird ties into the campaign so perfectly. He said, "The Riser Bird symbol we've been using to represent this album has really come to mean something to my fans. I've been hearing stories about it on the road, people are getting tattoos of it. It's a symbol of strength and resilience, and I think it's perfect to extend into what we do for Miles & Music, especially when we are talking about the history of the event, the bikers and fans who come out every year to support it and most importantly, the children and their families being treated at Vandy. The Riser Bird Movement that started this week is a cool way to get the community involved in a deeper way and earlier this year….it's been fun to see it start to spread across town."
