Dierks Bentley Showcases Everyday Heroes in ‘Woman, Amen’ Video
“I hope that by shining a light on the completely selfless volunteer work they do, it will maybe inspire other folks to do what they can in their own communities," Bentley said.
Instead of come up with a complex treatment for his latest single, Dierks Bentley relied on the real-life efforts of two very special women and centered the video around them for “Woman, Amen.”
Bentley found Jennifer and Sydnee Floyd after hearing about the work they do to change lives in Tennessee. The mother-daughter duo took experience from their own hardships to carry into the charitable work they spread throughout their community by building blessing bags (or care kits) for those less fortunate who don’t have much for themselves.

Discovering their dedication to serving the homeless community, Bentley surprised the two with an invitation to join him on set of the music video and the team became the stars of “Woman, Amen” as an act of kindness from Bentley’s own heart.
“Jennifer and Sydnee make everyone around them want to do more, to be better…it was an incredible honor for me to honor them,” said Bentley of the video. “I hope that by shining a light on the completely selfless volunteer work they do, it will maybe inspire other folks to do what they can in their own communities. I was really drawn to their real-life experience, and I wanted to do a video based on real people with real struggles and real triumphs. These are the people I get to meet every day, and they are really the ones who have inspired this music.”
The singer hopes to take that initiative one step further by highlighting strong women from all different circumstances behind him during his performance at the 53rd Annual ACM Awards coming up. Asking his fans to submit photographs of ladies who change lives every day, Bentley will salute their contributions by giving them gratitude on the stage screens.
The video for “Woman, Amen,” is out to view now, as well as available to stream and purchase at this time.
