Helming his Gravel & Gold Tour, Bentley found himself traveling to Nashville. Loving the chance to perform in the historic city, the country singer wanted to make the night memorable. Wanting to share the spotlight, Bentley decided to welcome numerous local artists on the stage to showcase their talent in front of thousands of fans. Hoping to help those artists still trying to find their footing in the music industry, the singer welcomed one last performer to the stage, who decided to perform “Stick Season.” As one fan put it, “She sounds so Broadway! Obsessed.”
It wasn’t until the end of the performance that Bentley revealed the singer was his daughter. Although shocking some fans, this isn’t the first time the pair shared the stage. Back in 2022, Evie once again walked out but this time – she performed Pink’s “All I Know So Far.”
Dierks Bentley Still Gets Nervous Walking On Stage
During her recent performance, fans rallied around the young singer, offering support. “She’s fantastic. Nerves definitely got the best of her. I’ve seen her at a much smaller venue and she was great. Definitely has her dad’s talent.” Another person added, “She did great! She’s still learning her voice for all y’all who say she isn’t good. I hear the potential she could have with more practice. Could be nerves also, but shame on y’all putting down a teen.”
Although having performed on some of the biggest stages, Bentley admitted he still gets butterflies when walking to the stage. “It doesn’t matter where we play. It all feels like the ultimate awards show when you’re there and your band’s there and the crew is in the wings, and the crowd’s all fired up. It doesn’t get any better than that.”
