Dierks Bentley Stands Up For The Fallen

The Arizona native will make a special trip back to his home state in two weeks to headline the Country Cares Concert, co-presented by CBS Radio Country KMLE/Phoenix and Guyann Country KAFF/Flagstaff, AZ. The show is scheduled for Monday, July 22 at Tim's Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, AZ and will benefit the families of those 19 brave members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots who lost their lives last week battling that massive Arizona wildfire. This unprecedented tragedy left 51 children without fathers.

"We want to make as much for those families as we can and hopefully start something that will continue on long after the music is over as far as remembering the firefighters and their families and these kids that live on as well," Bentley told Radio And Music Pros  "We want to help get something rolling to look after them and help them move forward."

Tickets go on sale at noon this Friday, July 12 at KMLE1079.com and at the Tim's Toyota Center box office. Fans and community members will have the chance to buy concert tickets and special VIP packages with proceeds going to the United Phoenix Firefighters Charities who will distribute directly to the families of the 19 fallen firefighters. "We hope this benefit concert gives everyone affected by this tragedy the opportunity to come together and heal," said KMLE PD Tim Richards. "We want to raise as much money as possible to help the families of these amazing heroes."
