Dierks Bentley has recruited Randy Houser, Kip Moore, Jon Pardi and Chris Young to participate in his ninth annual “Miles & Music for Kids” celebrity motorcycle ride and all-star concert, scheduled for Sun., Sept. 28 in Nashville. All proceeds will benefit Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. To date, Miles & Music for Kids has raised over $2.5 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals across the country.
The event will once again begin at the Harley Davidson of Columbia, TN for a motorcycle trek ending at Nashville’s Riverfront Park for the concert. More performers are expected to be announced as the event approaches.
To build momentum for Miles and Music and raise money for Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, plastic Riser Birds descended on Nashville yards this week (including MusicRow’s). Nashville residents can “Flock It Forward” and send Riser Birds to their friends at www.dierks.com/riserbirdmovement.
“The Riser bird symbol we’ve been using to represent this album has really come to mean something to my fans,” said Bentley. “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.”
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. Presale tickets are available beginning tomorrow, July 9 and general public tickets go on sale this Fri., July 11 at 10:00 a.m. CT. For more ticket info, visit www.dierks.com.
