Dierks Bentley’s Driving Dad Video Is Priceless
Dierks Bentley is entering a new phase of his life as a dad with a teenage daughter, who is sixteen and is learning to drive from Dierks himself. Bentley posted a funny video clip to his Instagram. In the clip, he’s in the passenger seat while Evie drives. The video starts with Dierks looking very concerned, and Evie says, “Okay, gas, brake, gas.” Bentley says, “Where’s my brake?” Then he tells his girl to make a return onto a neighborhood street after she puts the car in drive. He then panics a bit and tells her to look both ways, advising her to “turn the wheel the way you want it to go.”
Evie laughs and says to her dad, “This is so cool.”‘ Dierks responds dryly, “Yeah, it’s really cool.”
He captioned the funny video, “Driving lessons with @eviedayb8 begin.”
Many of Dierk’s two million followers reacted to the post, including one who wrote, “You should go to a parking lot First.” Another fan said, “This is hilarious. Do you have any nerves left?” One more fan advised, “Buckle Up, dad.. driving lessons are brutal.”

Bentley wrapped his summer “Gravel & Gold” tour with a a two-night stint at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado last month (September).
For the special show(9/5-6), Dierks welcomed special guests Harper O’Neill, The Red Clay Strays, and Ashley McBryde. Bentley invited Red Clay Strays’ vocalists Brandon Coleman and Drew Nix back to the stage for a cover of Waylon Jennings’ “Lonesome, On’ry and Mean.” McBryde also made a second appearance; she and Bentley performed their honky-tonk duet “Cowboy Boots.”
Night two (Wednesday, Sept. 6) saw opening performances from Tanner Usrey, Kaitlin Butts, and Colorado mainstays The Infamous Stringdusters, who later joined Bentley for a rendition of the bluegrass standard “Rovin’ Gambler.” During both nights, Bentley played a discography mix of old and new, including fan favorites from Gravel & Gold, “Gold,” “Something Real,” and “Sun Sets in Colorado.”
Dierks said, “I’m always trying to create a rollercoaster that I get to ride on, not just the fans. The second I walk on stage, I don’t want to have to work anymore. I want to have fun. And that’s why I spend months rehearsing this show over and over and over and over and over and over.”
