I remember Dierks Bentley sharing how nervous and anxious he was before co-hosting the ACM Awards with Luke Bryan in Las Vegas about a month ago.  He shares some stories Sunday night 7-10pm on Country Countdown USA with Lon Helton on the Hawk.

The big winner at the ACM's was Dierks' and Luke's friend Jason Aldean.  Dierks will tell you more about a backstage scene where Jason and Luke "hugged it out."  Dierks adds that "it was a big moment, and I feel honored to share in that."

You may have seen at 981TheHawk.com that Randy Houser got married in Nashville.  Well Dierks was there for his tour-mate Randy.  After the wedding Dierks traveled downtown to join Charles Kelley and Eric Paslay to sing "The Driver" at an intimate club show.

Dierks also has great stories this week about Blake Shelton, Randy Houser, Tucker Beathard, Cole Swindell, Maren Morris, Jon Pardi and Tim McGraw.
