Dierks Bentley Delivers High-Energy Night in Alpharetta with Heart, Humor, and Hits
Country music fans packed Ameris Bank Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, GA, on June 5th for a night of boot-stomping fun, heartfelt singalongs, and pure Nashville showmanship, courtesy of Dierks Bentley and his stacked supporting lineup. With rising stars The Band Loula and Zach Top setting the stage, Bentley brought his signature blend of modern country and bluegrass flair to a crowd ready for summer vibes.
The night opened with The Band Loula, a Georgia-based duo whose harmony-rich sound and soulful lyrics drew early cheers from the growing crowd. Their Southern charm and heartfelt delivery set the tone for what was to come. Next up, Zach Top stepped on stage like a man born to wear a cowboy hat. With a honky-tonk swagger and a voice steeped in ‘90s country tradition, Top quickly won over the audience. His set was filled with twangy guitars, two-stepping rhythms, and just enough grit to keep things grounded.
By the time Dierks Bentley hit the stage, the energy in the amphitheater was electric. Launching into “Up On The Ridge,” Bentley immediately showcased the genre-blurring sound that has defined his career—part bluegrass jam, part arena anthem. He moved effortlessly between his early hits and newer fan favorites, keeping the momentum high with the raucous “5-1-5-0” and the carefree “Free and Easy (Down The Road I Go).”
Bentley connected with the crowd not just through his music, but with his humor and warmth. Between songs, he shared stories and thanked the Georgia crowd for their longtime support. The singalong moment of the night came during “What Was I Thinkin’,” a track that’s aged like fine whiskey in his catalog—familiar, fiery, and fun. “Somewhere On A Beach” and “Burning Man” showcased Bentley’s ability to bridge radio hits with personal depth, keeping both longtime fans and newer listeners engaged.
As the night wound down, the crowd showed no signs of letting up—neither did Bentley. His show balanced polish with spontaneity, reminding everyone why he’s remained one of country music’s most consistent live performers.
In a summer filled with big-name tours, Dierks Bentley’s Alpharetta stop was a standout—proof that great songs, a tight band, and a little Georgia humidity make for one unforgettable night. Find tour dates and more information here: https://dierks.com
