It was just the two of us; no family. It was a great time.

We have fun. I think it spills off into the crowd. Our main job is to have a good time first and foremost as a band - if we're doing that, then everyone at the show will have a good time, too.

I have been waiting a long time for this. It's been my dream forever. Now that it's a reality, I love it. I haven't been burnt out at all and I have a bunch of guys with me that feel the same way.

It's Frederick Dierks Bentley, but my whole family goes by their middle name - my sister, my brother. So from day one, I've always been called Dierks.

I want to be free to be any version of me I feel like being. I don't want to be McDonald's that serves the same food every time.

I'm part of the party, getting the crowd fired up, singing songs, pouring drinks, whatever it takes to get them to have a good time. When I walk into the meet-and-greet, someone's always going to have a story, a sad story or a happy story.
