Dierks Bentley Raises More Than $600K At 10th Annual Miles & Music

Dierks Bentley held his 10th Annual Miles & Music For Kids event on Sunday (Nov. 1) in Nashville. The event, which featured a motorcycle ride and concert, raised a recorded breaking $636,479 for the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt.

Joining Bentley for the 10th anniversary of his event was Florida Georgia Line, Thomas Rhett, Cole Swindell, The Cadillac Three, Canaan Smith, Brooke Eden, and emcee Storme Warren. In addition, thousands of bikers participated in the motorcycle ride, and made their way into downtown Nashville from Columbia, TN for the sold-out event at Ascend Amphitheater.

“The Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital is just such a special place,” Bentley told Sounds Like Nashville prior to taking the stage. “I mean, they really go out of their way to make that place feel like a home for these kids. To get a chance to help them continue to grow and provide the services they need to provide, it feels great.”

“I just feel so honored to be the spokesperson for Miles & Music, you know? This thing is so much bigger than me, but I feel honored to have my name on it.”

Next up for Dierks is a special performance with Lindsey Stirling on Wednesday’s 49th Annual CMA Awards. He is also vying for Male Vocalist of the Year during Country Music’s Biggest Night. Watch the CMA Awards on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 8/7c on ABC.
