When Mr. “Drunk on a Plane”—aka Dierks Bentley—performed at the ol’ Gary last summer, he had just one single from his at-the-time unannounced Gravel & Gold album.

Less than a year after that sweltering shindig, the 47-year-old Nashville boy is bringing his new, yet same-old-story country jams to town yet again, this time with support from fellow Nashvillians Jordan Davis and Caylee Hammack, who’ve both been nominated for CMT Music Awards this decade.

Tickets to see Dierks Bentley play Tampa’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre on Friday, July 14 are still available and start at $24.50.
