Dierks Bentley revealed that he will putting together a benefit concert for the families of the Arizona firefighters who died fighting wildfires.

Dierks is a native of Phoenix so this hits extremely close to home for him.  The "Country Cares Concert" will take place in Prescott Valley, AZ on July 22nd.  That is the same location where 19 firefighters lost their lives, leaving 51 children fatherless.

He is extending an invitation to other artists to perform and is expected to announce a lineup at a later date.  All proceeds will go to the United Phoenix Firefighters and be distributed among the families.
