Country Music History November 20

Today is all about Dierks and Josh.
Frederick Dierks Bentley was born November 20, 1974 in Phoenix, Arizona.  Did you know that Dierks holds a private pilot's license and owns a Cirrus SR 22?  His career in music began when he worked at The Nashville Network doing reviews and research of old films of country performers.  His self-titled debut album hit the circuit in 2003, and his first big hit "What Was I Thinkin'" came from that album.  Dierks and his wife, Cassidy, have children Evelyn Day, Jordan Catherine and Knox.

"Would You Go With Me" singer, Josh Turner, was born in 1977 in Hannah, South Carolina with the given name Joshua Otis Turner.  Very active in church, at a young age Josh formed a gospel group Thankful Hearts.  Professionally, he made his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2001 singing "Long Black Train".  Josh and his wife, Jennifer, have four sons, Hampton, Colby, Marion and Samuel.  Jennifer plays keyboards and sings background vocals with her husband while he is on tour.

Happy birthday, Dierks and Josh!
