Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley on Playing ‘Head Bartenders’ at the ACM Awards

Bryan: It’s less formal. Dierks may not wear underwear.

Bentley: I’m not wearing any right now. Do you wear underwear for the show?

Bryan: I’ll be in underwear.

Bentley: You probably got a jock strap on to contain everything.

Bryan: Not needed.

Clearly, the chemistry you guys have is pretty good.
Bentley: We’ve known each other for so long.

Bryan: We’ve had a fun ride in this business. When Dierks did his first headlining tour, it was me, Bucky Covington and Dierks was the headliner. We had so much fun back then. We’d load the bus with his band, my band and we would play all night.

Bentley: I wish there was more video footage or a way to tap into that memory because I don’t remember much, but it was fun.

Bryan: I’m glad we didn’t write a diary on those days. Really, the bottom line is we’ve had the opportunity to be around each other a lot. We can do a pretty good job of feeding off each other and have some fun with it.
