Dierks Bentley’s heart of “Gold” is dedicated to country music.

Many musicians have crossed over to Hollywood to pursue an acting career within the last few years. However, this business venture does not sound appealing to Bentley. The country crooner recently told Entertainment Tonight that he was offered an audition for an on-screen role, but turned it down.
“I don’t think I’d be good enough to [do] those things,” he told E.T.’s Rachel Smith. “It requires more time away from home, and I just, I don’t want to.”
“I had a chance to audition for Larry David,” he continued. “I decided not to do it. Because again, ‘Oh, if I get it, I don’t really want to go to LA.’ I got a great gig. I love what I do.”
Bentley is gearing up for his Gravel & Gold Tour in support of his 10th studio album of the same name. The LP includes the No. 1 single “Gold” and vulnerable tracks “Same Ol’ Me” and “Walking Each Other Home.”
“I’ve been waiting as patiently as possible for the time when we could tell our fans about this tour, and I’m happy the moment has arrived,” said the road warrior in a press release. “With new music, a whole new set and vibe along with incredible musicians and singers to share the stage with…I can honestly say I think this will be our best tour ever.”
