Dierks Bentley to perform Saturday

By Carrie Ritchie · Friday, March 2,2007 12 a.m.

This Saturday the IU Auditorium will open its doors to something it hasn’t seen in a while: a country act. The Union Board is bringing Dierks Bentley to the auditorium for a 7:30 p.m. show to add a new flavor to its spring events line-up. “It’s been a long time since we’ve had a country artist, if ever, so we decided it would be good for Union Board to bring (one) to IU,” said Adam Soiref, UB concerts director. The last country performer to come to IU was Willie Nelson in December 2004.
