Dierks Bentley has certainly gained a loyal following since his start in country music, and that is never more evident that when you meet one his fan club members! We've been fortunate enough to meet many Dierks fans in our travels and we think the nicest one most definitely has to be Ronna! Ronna's been to many Dierks shows and has many stories to tell, but this one ranks right up there with her favorites. On a recent DRT (Dierks Road Trip), Ronna and her fellow DRT'ers headed up to Atlanta to see their man...the show was great and she loved hearing "Sweet And Wild" which is the song that she's hoping will be Dierks' next single. After the show, they got to go see Dierks, chat with him and take some pics. Before Ronna had her turn in line, Dierks was talking with another fan but happened to notice Ronna in line and called out to her "Hey Ronna"...we love that Dierks cares enough to remember his friends. And trust us, he definitely remembers...we think he must have a photographic memory...we've heard him chat with fans and immediately he'll say "I remember you, you were at..." and continue on with what show they were at and when it was...it's actually a little scary at how well he remembers things...but of course, it means the world to his fans!
So Ronna and her girls took their time with Dierks and as always, he did not disappoint them! As members of his "DB Congress," Dierks told them that they're the inner circle of his fan club and that he really listens to their ideas...and then, this is too cute...when they all left, they said "good night Dierks" to which he responded "good night Congress." I mean, seriously?!...adorable!
As ANY country music road tripper (tripper -- did I just make that word up??) knows, the end of a road trip is always bitter sweet...you're always joyful and thankful for another handful of memories that you've made, but you're sad that it's all over. But thankfully, we all have each other to know exactly what we're feeling and are there to listen to all of the great stories from the trip! Dierks sums it up best for Ronna in his lyric "Gonna live for places I ain't been, make a lot more good remember-whens, right up to the end." If any of you have ever lived a great country concert road trip...whether it's Dierks or anyone else...you totally get it, and Dierks totally makes the DRT's memorable for his fans!
Dierks and his Congress...

Thanks for posting! Just one thing...I WISH as an EP I could make Sweet and Wild the next single, but I have absolutely no say in that decision. All we can do is hope they listen to us and how much we love that song and release it as the next single!
