We went a year without concerts and it feels like it has really lifted people's spirits to hear that shows are being scheduled once again. Not only that, but the number of shows has been pretty crazy - there's been a BUNCH of concerts announced for Missoula in the last few weeks. Although, I will say our local concert lineup is a bit light on country shows. But if you're down for a small road trip.....Northern Quest Resort & Casino in Spokane is filling up their concert calendar with some pretty awesome country acts.

Already scheduled were shows from Brantley Gilbert, Darius Rucker, Old Dominion and country comedian Rodney Carrington. Yesterday brought news of another big show - Dierks Bentley will play at Northern Quest as part of their Outdoor Summer Concerts on July 30.

I would throw out a few Dierks Bentley songs that could serve as reasons for attending the show.....but with eighteen #1 songs and nine studio albums.....I can't even begin to do the list justice by naming just a few. But it's a given - if you've spent any time listening to country radio over the last 15 years - there's no doubt that you'll be singing along with hit after hit.

Presale tickets are available May, 19 for those that have the Northern Quest app. Tickets will go on sale for the general public at 10am MT on May, 21.

Tickets prices are $69 | $89 | $109 | $129 and you can get them through TICKETSWEST.COM or northernquest.com. You can also purchase over the phone at 509.481.2800.
