Keith Urban, Chris Stapleton and Sam Hunt were three headliners that gave their time to support victims of a handful of tragedies at Country Rising on Sunday.
Chris Stapleton has been a consistent CMA Awards winner since 2015 and it must be the beard because now everyone in country music is trying to replicate his look.
Dierks Bentley is nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year at the 2017 CMA Awards, and the many-times-nominated singer deserves for this to finally be his year.
Specific 2017 CMA Awards performances are coming into view with the announcement of four high-powered collaborations, including one with a famous pop star.
Though Bentley grew up in Arizona, it wasn't until he contributed his new song, "Hold the Light" to the film Only the Brave did he begin to understand the gravity that firefighters endure.
Dierks Bentley paid a visit to Las Vegas on Monday (Oct. 9) in the wake of the recent mass shooting there, and he took some time out to visit with first responders who have worked so diligently since the tragedy unfolded on Oct. 1.
"One of the most powerful takeaways for me from working on this project has been the need to search for hope and light even in the darkest of times," Bentley says.
