Dierks Bentley Music and Miles Ride for kids

March 6, 2010 - PRLog -- On Sunday, April 25, 2010, Harley-Davidson of North Texas will organize the ride which is expected to have 500+ riders.  The ride will end at Billy Bob’s in the Fort Worth Stockyards.  Registration starts at 11:00 AM with the bike ride departing at 2:00 PM.  Dierks Bentley and other Texas country artists will participate in the ride.  The concert will include several well-known Texas country bands (to be surprise guests) with Dierks Bentley as the headline act.  The concert will be held inside Billy Bob’s Texas.  Music begins at 2:00-2:30 PM, and will end sometime around 8:00 pm.  Concert promoters, along with Billy Bob’s management, anticipate full capacity of 5500.

Since 2006, award winning songwriter and country music sensation, Dierks Bentley, has raised over $500,000 for the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt with his Miles & Music for Kids, a celebrity motorcycle ride and benefit concert in Nashville, TN.  This program has been expanded to include a few other US cities in 2010, including Dallas/Fort Worth.   This year marks our first year as a host of the Dierks Bentley Music and Miles ride for kids.
