Bentley pulled out all the stops––welcoming special guests to the Bridgestone Arena Stage –– beginning with Americana darling Bella White and followed by Chase Rice, who Bentley surprised on stage with a brand new Martin D-4. Red Clay Strays’ frontman Brandon Coleman joined Bentley to duet a soulful cover of the Waylon Jennings classic “Lonesome, On'ry and Mean” and rising star Zach Top made his Bridgestone debut to cover Tony Rice’s “Freeborn Man,” before the two performed Bentley’s “High Note” and Top’s “Sounds Like The Radio” together.
