Dierks Bentley
Dierks Bentley headlined the Country Cares Concert at Tim’s Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, Ariz. on July 22. The event raised more than $476,000 for families of the 19 Granite Mountain Hot Shot firefighters who recently perished fighting Arizona wildfires. The Band Perry, Randy Houser, David Nail and country stations KLME and KAFF joined Bentley in his efforts to raise money.
Family members of the 19 victims and the lone surviving firefighter attended the concert, which included a photo tribute to the fallen firefighters during Bentley’s performance of his new song “Here On Earth.” The singer also performed a rendition of “Home” with a bagpipe intro by the Rural Metro Pipe and Drum Corp.
The concert’s proceeds will benefit the United Phoenix Firefighters Charities, which will aid the families of the 19 fallen firefighters. For more information, visit dierks.com
