Dierks Bentley is toasting the end of summer with the release of a four-song EP titled Country & Cold Cans, available Aug. 21 on iTunes.
The collection was produced by Jaren Johnston (The Cadillac Black) and will be promoted during tailgating season at SEC campuses on Bentley’s Back To College Tour with guest The Cadillac Black. The tour visits The University of Georgia (8/20); The University of South Carolina (8/21); and culminates in The Grove at The University of Mississippi (8/22).
“We thought we’d celebrate the end of summer and back to school with an EP of new material that’s about cutting loose,” said Bentley. “I’ve written a lot with Jaren, and we thought it would be fun to get the guys in my band and a couple of cases of beer and go see what happens in the studio.”
Tickets to the college shows are available to fan club members beginning today (7/26) and the general public on Friday (7/27) beginning at 10:00 a.m. ET. For information visit Dierks.com.
Bentley’s current sixth studio album Home has already spawned three No. 1s, totaling 10 No. 1 hits for the artist.
EP Track List:
1. Country & Cold Cans
2. Grab A Beer
