Dierks Bentley has planned a free concert to air on ABC's Good Morning America on Nov. 10, followed by a performance on the CMA Awards later that night. Bentley's concert will take place on the plaza of the Bridgestone Arena, the same venue where the awards show will take place. Bentley is nominated for male vocalist, album (for Up on the Ridge) and musical event (for "Bad Angel" with Miranda Lambert and Jamey Johnson). In addition, CMA Awards co-host Brad Paisley and NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon will appear on the plaza to present a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze to a member of the armed services chosen from online submissions to the Chevrolet Salutes America's Heroes contest.
