Those wishing to nominate a hometown hero from any one of the six cities mentioned can do so from now until Wednesday, May 9, 2012, by logging on towww.traceadkins.com/gah. Whether it is someone doing extraordinary things to enrich their community, those reaching out to help people or animals in need or those stepping in to give a voice to those who aren’t heard, Great American Hero will celebrate folks representing a variety of causes.

Dierks Bentley will participate in the fifth annual Record Store Day on Friday (April 21st) with a special acoustic performance at independent record store Easy Street Records’ Queen Anne location in downtown Seattle, Washington at 1 p.m. PT.

Dierks said, “Record Store Day is such a great event that has hardly had any attention in country music. Some of the coolest exclusive product comes out on this day at indy retailers, and I wanted country fans to be able to get in on the action. I may have a few surprise special guests up my sleeve too. I’m really excited to take over Easy Street for an hour that afternoon . . . Seattle is such a great music town.”

Across the country and globe for one day only, artists including the Zac Brown Band, Coldplay, Foster the People, Ryan Adams and The Black Keys will be releasing Record Store Day exclusives, making special appearances or performing at brick and mortar record stores to celebrate the art of music.
