Dierks Bentley's current hit, "Home," has been nominated for Song of the Year by the Academy of Country Music Awards. In addition to being trophy-worthy, Dierks tells us he hopes the song brings people together. "The song is written in a way that is open-ended as far as how people, what they want to walk away with. I mean I think it's obvious that it's a song about our country and about the ups and downs and the scars we have in our past, but at the end of the day, no matter what side of the fence you're on, where you stand on certain issues, or where you come from, your background, we all live here. You have to walk through the front door of your house every day. This is our house. This is our home. This is our country. You know, I hope in some sense that it brings people together, and finds a bit more in common than we don't. I hope people feel inspired and come together."

"Home" is the title track of Dierk's new album, which will be released on February 7th.

The ACM Awards will be held on April 1st in Las Vegas.

The last single member of the Eli Young Band -- James Young -- will officially be off the market next week. The guitarist is set to marry his longtime girlfriend on February 4th.

Tasteofcountry.com reports that the band celebrated the upcoming nuptials last weekend in Destin, Florida with a "bach-party" for the couple.

The Eli Young Band continue playing their own headlining dates throughout the year on their Keep on Dreamin' tour, which features newcomer Eric Paslay.

The Eli Young Band were nominated for Vocal Group and Single and Song of the year for their Number One hit, "Crazy Girl."

Eric Church is a fan of the video for his hit "Homeboy," which was just nominated for Video of the Year by the Academy of Country Music Awards. Eric tells us he could easily relate to the kid in the clip: "And seeing the story line develop, and being in the place, I mean I've been there, I was feeling the stuff the kid was feeling, that despair. I think we have all been in places like that. It just came across great. I love the lighting. I love the angles. I love the slow motion. The slow motion is one of the coolest things. There's a scene with a match where he lights a match and throws it at the camera, and you can see the match extinguish itself, in super, super, super slow motion. I love that shot."

Eric is also up for Album of the Year for Chief.

The ACM Awards will take place in Las Vegas on April 1st. The show will air live on CBS.

Eric is out on his first headlining Blood, Sweat & Beers tour with special guest Brantley Gilbert.
