The Arizona native has amassed nearly five billion digital streams, countless nominations from the CMA and Billboard Music Awards while earning thirteen GRAMMY nominations – including at least one stemming from each of his last six albums. Continuing endeavors outside of the music industry Bentley has partnered with Flag & Anthem to create an exclusive lifestyle collection, Desert Son, available now.
