Dierks Bentley Funding The Staff After Bar Closes

Dierks Bentley knew that, with this virus still spreading, he needed to close his bar Whiskey Row to keep the people of Music City safe. He knew that all 90 of his staff were going to be out of work for a while so he will be paying each one of them $1000.

He put a call out to all the other bar owners to follow him in supporting their staff…and they heard him! Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line own a bar and restaurant in Nashville called FGL House. Because of the virus, they thought it was smart to close the doors until the virus is contained. The boys will be providing all 117 of their staff with $1000 to hopefully pay for essentials and bills.

@fglhouse would be nothing without our amazing staff. We know it takes a village, and we’re so thankful for all 117 of you and we hope this helps out while the bar and restaurant is closed. We’ve been blessed by y’all and we are excited to follow @dierksbentley lead here and #giveback. With much love and gratitude – bk and T
