Jordan Davis insisted that he’ll “never get tired” of watching Dierks Bentley perform as the two artists continue Bentley’s headlining “Gravel & Gold Tour.” Davis and a few others are hilariously caught backstage, appearing to nod off to sleep while Bentley performs his 2012 smash-hit anthem, “5-1-5-0.”
Bentley kicked off the “Gravel & Gold Tour” last month, in support of his 10th studio record by the same name. The 14-track project includes “Same Ol’ Me,” “Sun Sets In Colorado,” “Cowboy Boots” featuring Ashley McBryde, “God,” “High Note” featuring Billy Strings, and other fan-favorites. Though Davis might look like the tour is putting him to sleep in the Instagram reel he shared on Tuesday (July 11), he holds Bentley in high regard.
“When I grow up, I want to be Dierks Bentley,” Davis, now a father of three, previously said with a laugh, per his record label. “I know I’ve made that joke before, but like I just love that guy to death. I feel like I know, not just Dierks, I know his band pretty well. Dan, his fiddle guy, I’ve known for longer than I’ve known Dierks. More importantly like, it’s a master class. That band is so good. Dierks is an entertainer to the unth degree and just really, really great people and this job gets tough and being on the road with really good people makes it a little bit easier. So, and it doesn’t suck that Dierks can fly a plane, so we can be home pretty quick if he’s got any open seats. Dierks, I’d love to hop in there with ya. I’ll even help you fly, if you need some help, you know? I’m kidding—you’re flying the whole way.”
Bentley’s ongoing “Gravel & Gold Tour also includes special guests Elle King, Tracy Lawrence, Tyler Braden, Caylee Hammack, Hot Country Knights, Kameron Marlowe, The Cadillac Three, The Red Clay Strays, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Shane Smith & the Saints, Caitlyn Smith and Hailey Whitters. In the fall, Davis will kick off his headlining “Damn Good Time Tour” with Avery Anna, Gabby Barrett, Danielle Bradbery, Flatland Cavalry, Greylan James, Dylan Marlowe, Kameron Marlowe, Jameson Rodgers, Mike Ryan, Conner Smith and Georgia Webster.
