“I’ve been going over to Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital for years to volunteer and visit the kids. Over the last several years through friends and their experiences, Ive made an even more personal connection to the hospital, said Bentley. “This is one way I can give back to a community that has given me so much support over the years.”

The ride will end at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds with a rocking country concert featuring full sets by Bentley and comedian Jeff Foxworthy, along with performances by special guests including Montgomery Gentry, Miranda Lambert and the Randy Rogers band beginning at 4:30pm CT.
Fans and supporters can purchase advance tickets for both the ride and concert through Ticketmaster beginning Sept. 9 or at the gate on Oct. 8. Costs are $35 for the ride, concert and T-shirt or $20 for the concert only. More information is also available at www.dbmilesandmusic.com
