This past weekend, Dierks Bentley brought his Gravel and Gold tour to Nashville for a homecoming show that included surprise performances from Zach Top and his daughter, Evie.

A highlight of the night came when Dierks’s daughter, Evie, took the stage to perform Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season.” For those who remember her joining him on stage as a little girl, it was a touching reminder of how much she’s grown. Dierks was visibly filled with pride, frequently giving shoutouts throughout the show to his kids’ friends in the audience. He even mentioned that their parents and teachers were there to support.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a Dirks Bentley show in Bridgestone Arena without him bringing out the Nashville Predators. Every player on the roster was there — even the Preds’ newest star, Steven Stamkos, formerly the captain of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
