A country voice will be heard in the upcoming flick Only the Brave.
Dierks Bentley sings “Hold the Light” in the drama about the real-life Granite Mountain Hotshots, and USA Today has the exclusive first listen.
“It is haunting,” Dierks says. “Whenever I hear the song, it stirs up a crazy range of emotions. For sure.”
The track pays tribute to the 19 men who were sent to battle 2013’s Yarnell Hill wildfire, the deadliest ever fire in Arizona and the worst in United States history since 1933.
In 2013, Dierks hosted a Country Cares Concert with Randy Houser, The Band Perry and David Nail and raised $476,000 for the families of the firemen who died.
Only the Brave, which brings the tragedy to the big screen, co-stars Jeff Bridges, Josh Brolin, Jennifer Connely, Taylor Kitsch and Miles Teller.
The film hits theaters nationwide on October 20. “Hold the Light” is available for download on Friday (9/22).
