Burke/Triolo Productions/Thinkstock Dierks Bentley raised $636,479 Sunday during his annual Miles & Music fundraiser on the riverfront in Nashville. For the decade he’s hosted the motorcycle ride and all-star concert, which has raised a grand total of almost $4 million over the years to help the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. The concert’s first year at the new Ascend Amphitheatre also brought in the event’s largest yearly donation. 

LeAnn Rimes is set to perform her greatest hits next July 8 with the Nashville Symphony. Tickets for the show go on sale to the public this Friday.

Alison Krauss will be the special guest at The Pen Fund’s November 10 benefit at Nashville’s 3rd & Lindsley. The Pen Fund was started by Country Music Hall of Famer Hank Cochran’s family, to help songwriters suffering from pancreatic cancer.
