Dierks Bentley’s Adds Another Girl

When Dierks Bentley isn’t on the road making music, he’s usually at home in Nashville with his wife Cassie and two young daughters, Evie and Jordan.  In fact, Jordan is just 9 months old, so Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton asked Dierks for an update on his latest addition to the family: “She was born at 3 in the morning on Christmas Day.  It was the one day that I wasn’t on the road!  But it would take a whole show to talk about how much joy kids bring in your life, so it’s a real blessing.”

How is Evie handling a new little sister? “She’s good, she loves her little sister, the terrible 2s never happened, she’s pretty outgoing, loves on her little sister, and can’t wait for her to grow up so she can do more stuff with her.”

Lon asked Dierks if he brings his kids on the road: “They don’t get on the road very often, but some of these runs are so long, that I miss ’em so much and I get them to come out on the road.  Evie has been on the road a bunch, and she’s so outgoing because of that.  There’s no shyness, she gets on the drum kit during soundcheck and starts whacking away.  The other night, she was standing side stage, and she kept trying to come on the stage, Cassie kept holding her back, but she was jammin’ to the music.  I love it, I love music and love sharing it with my fans, but to share it with my child is the coolest thing.  We joke that we’re working on our retirement, with the next Miley Cyrus,  but music is better than video games, so to see her like it is really cool.”

So how does Dierks feel about having daughters?  “I knew I was having girls right away, when I looked at McGraw, Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Trace, Aldean has two girls.  I talked to McGraw about it, he’s like, ‘When we had that third one, I knew it was a girl.  I didn’t even check.’  But I love having two girls.  Once we had Evie, I knew I wanted another one.  It’s funny how songs sound different to me now.  That Darius Rucker song ‘It Won’t Be Like This For Long,’ I talked to Keith Urban about that too.  He has two girls too.  It hits you so hard.”
