Dierks Bentley celebrated his tenth anniversary as a Grand Ole Opry member last week during a special performance. The week is extra special for the Opry, as they will be hosting a star-studded 90th Birthday Bash this weekend (Saturday, Oct. 3).
Throughout his 30-minute Opry segment, Bentley performed several of the hits that have entertained Opry fans over the past decade, including “What Was I Thinkin’,” “Settle For A Slowdown,” “Free And Easy (Down The Road I Go),” “Home” and “Riser.” He was also joined by friends Dailey and Vincent for the bluegrass tune “Rovin’ Gambler.”
During his set, the Opry member was also joined on stage by his beloved dog Jake, with whom he had celebrated his Opry induction. “He was here with me 10 years ago,” Bentley said. “I was driving away this afternoon and I thought, ‘I've got to bring Jake back out.’”
Presented with a print marking ten years of Opry membership by 54-year Opry member Bill Anderson, Bentley said, “The Opry is my home. This means the world to me tonight. We’ve been on the road so much of the past ten years it’s good to be home.”
