Dierks Bentley is a busy dude. That’s an understatement. He’s out on his Burning Man Tour. Helping promote his back up band “Hot Country Knights”, and he’s a bar owner (Whiskey Row).
and now he’s getting into the TV business. Dierks Bentley is the Executive Producer of a new Fox TV project he describes as “Cheers meets Nashville” that he hopes gets picked up by the network. Dierks talks about saying yes to the project:
“I think I’ve learned over the years and having kids and being busy this life comes down to a really big YES or it’s just a no. Unless something’s a really big YES, you just say no, and it just helps simplifies all of your answers,” he says. “I’ve been presented with a lot of reality TV opportunities and commercials and stuff, and through that basis of yes and no and searching for the big YES in life, I’ve been able to make those decisions pretty clearly, usually no. But this came along, and I love the idea of it. It’s kind of like Cheers TV show meets Nashville. What I saw initially was so funny, and Executive Producer is a great role for me because I don’t have to be on camera and I don’t have to go to L.A. every weekend.”
In today’s Country Music Minute, Dierks talks about how saying yes to the project was an easy yes.
