Dierks Bentley brought the energy and hits to a packed and upbeat crowd at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Saturday (Sept. 7).

The hometown show was a stop on the singer’s Gravel & Gold Tour, but it wasn’t a normal show. Rather, it was jammed packed with local artists who made surprise appearances.

One of those surprise performances involved a close family member.

With his band surrounding Bentley at the front of stage, a young woman in a red dress with white cowboy boots took the stage. The country singer’s band backed her vocals as she effortlessly sang a cover of Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season.”

It wasn’t until the very end of the song that fans would learn who the singer was.

“Give it up for my daughter Evie,” Bentley shouted. Naturally, the crowd erupted after learning the singer was his daughter.

This isn’t the first time Bentley's daughter has joined him on stage. Back in 2022, during a Beers on Me Tour stop, Evie stepped out to perform Pink’s hit, “All I Know So Far.”

Outside of singing with her dad, you can also find the teenager giving Bentley a heart attack as she learns how to drive.

The singer’s Bridgestone set consisted of a wide range of his hits like “Gold” and “Burning Man.”

Fellow country artist Chase Rice jumped on stage to sing Bentley’s “Gone.” Then shortly after, Zach Top and Brandon Coleman from Red Clay Strays also joined the singer for a few songs.

Bentley ended the night with his band transitioning into their Hot Country Knights personas. Their set was jammed packed with '90s country covers, including “Trouble” and “I Like It I Love It.”
