Dierks Bentley's seventh annual Miles & Music for Kids celebrity motorcycle ride and concert set for Sunday, Oct. 14 in Nashville, is getting revved up with additional star power from special guests Sheryl Crow, Chris Young, Brantley Gilbert, the Cadillac Black and Craig Campbell. Tickets go on sale Friday, Aug. 17 at 10:00 AM CT through Ticketmaster. Since 2006, Dierks has held 12 events in seven US cities, raising over $2 million for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals across the country.

The scenic hour-long motorcycle ride to Music City begins at Harley-Davidson of Columbia (1616 Harley Davidson Blvd., Columbia, Tenn.) and ends at downtown Nashville's Riverfront Park. In addition to the above-mentioned acts (with Dierks headlining the family-friendly jam-style concert on the ACM Lifting Lives main stage), more artist announcements will be made in the coming weeks.

"I really want to blow Miles & Music out this year and make it bigger than ever," says the superstar performer. "We've had the chance to help a lot of communities across the country, but the heart and soul of this event is in downtown Nashville with Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt and the artists and friends who come out and help us raise money. It's my favorite thing we do all year."

Fans can purchase tickets for the ride, concert and commemorative T-shirt for $50, or those looking to attend the concert only can purchase tickets for $20. Special VIP packages are also available. All proceeds from the event benefit Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, a Children's Miracle Network Hospital. For more ticket info, visit Dierks' official website.
