Dierks Bentley
will release a new EP,
Country & Cold Cans, on Aug. 21. Produced
by Jaren Johnston, the four-song collection will be available at iTunes and is inspired by his recent Country & Cold Cans
tour that included shows in the U.S., Canada and Australia. In addition to the title track, the EP also includes "Grab a Beer,"
"Back Porch" and "Summer on Fire." Bentley said, "We thought we'd celebrate the end of summer and back to school with an EP
of new material that's about cutting loose. It was really inspired by how young and crazy the fans on the Country & Cold
Cans tour were earlier this year. I've written a lot with Jaren, and we thought it would be fun to get the guys in my band
and a couple of cases of beer and go see what happens in the studio. I'm really happy with the tracks, and I think our crowd
will dig it." He'll be performing at three SEC campuses during his Country & Cold Cans: Back to College tour with opening
act, the Cadillac Black. The appearances take place Aug. 20 at the University of Georgia, Aug. 21 at the University of South
Carolina and Aug. 22 at the University of Mississippi.
