Carl Bentley Band and Dinner

Carl Bentley grew up in Eastern Kentucky, a region known to produce country and bluegrass singers. From an early age he learned how to sing gospel music in church. Growing up listening to acts such as the Stanley Brothers, Bill Monroe, Larry Sparks and countless others, it was clear that Carl had a love for bluegrass music at an early age. Carl has shared the stage with country and bluegrass music headliners since age 16. His mountain style of bluegrass blended with country influences of the likes of Merle Haggard and Keith Whitley adds enough variety to his show that will accommodate audiences of all ages.

His songwriting and vocal abilities has allowed many achievements, including those listed below.
