PARTY WITH DIERKS
Red-hot country performer – and one-time pumper –
Dierks Bentley will rock the house in Louisville
By: Jim Kneiszel
H
ow’s this for the hottest ticket in town: The Pumper & Cleaner
Environmental Expo International and Dierks Bentley.
The can’t miss trade show for environmental services profes-
sionals collides with the can’t miss country music performer of the
past year. Nominated for three Grammy Awards in 2010, Bentley
takes the stage tonight at Louisville's Freedom Hall to entertain
Expo attendees.
Bentley has had numerous No.1 hits on the country charts since
his 2003 debut album, but last year’s bluegrass-influenced record,
Up On The Ridge, catapulted his career to a new level. Recording
with an ensemble of the hottest new stars – Punch Brothers, Miranda
Lambert and Jamey Johnson – Bentley produced the contemporary
country music that built his career, but using the acoustic instrumen-
tation that fueled his love of country music in the first place.
“I had a blast making this record. It was the most fun I’ve really
ever had making a record. Bluegrass music is what really first got me
turned on to country,’’ Bentley says. “I don’t think I’m a traditionalist.
I love country music and putting my own stamp on it. And using
(acoustic) instruments is a big part of the formula; I want to push the
boundaries of what you can do with them.”
A PUMPING PAST
While Bentley’s music is sure to be a big hit at the Saturday
Evening Jam, there’s another reason Expo attendees will enjoy the
down-to-earth, 35-year-old performer: He’s been a pumper. One of
the many jobs Bentley had before landing a contract in Music City
was pumping out holding tanks on houseboats at Lake Powell in his
home state of Arizona.
14 2011 PUMPER & CLEANER ENVIRONMENTAL EXPO INTERNATIONAL
“I loved the lake and I loved being up there,’’ Bentley says. “In
the mornings, I’d go down and show the customers how to drive the
boats, 35- to 60-foot houseboats. When the boats came back, we’d
clean them from top to bottom, scrub the roofs, the decks, pump out
the tanks, and get them ready to go the next morning.’’
Boats typically had 250-gallon holding tanks, and that waste was
pumped through a pipe system installed at the marina, Bentley re-
calls. Careful evacuation of the tanks and constant cleaning on the
boats is vital because Lake Powell provides a freshwater supply for
an expansive desert territory in the Southwest.
Bentley says he’s always enjoyed physical labor (he also built
decks for a time and retrieved golf balls at a driving range) and has
an appreciation for hard work. The jobs he didn’t like were in
Nashville offices while he paid his dues in the music business.
“I poured coffee all over this town and worked in every building
in Nashville before I got a publishing deal,’’ he recalls. “I like
physical labor, but emotionally being in Nashville and working day
jobs while trying to get a record deal was the toughest.’’
QUIT THE DAY JOB
Bentley doesn’t have to work day jobs anymore. In 2003, his first
single, “What Was I Thinkin’’’ topped the country chart. His 2005
album, Modern Day Drifter, went platinum, and that year he became
the youngest member of the Grand Ole Opry and received the
Country Music Association’s Horizon Award. He followed with the
2009 album, Feel That Fire, which included two No.1 hits, the title
track and “Sideways.”
Then Bentley had a thought. What if he returned to the bluegrass
Saturday Daily 3/5/11 7:28 AM Page 15

music he fell in love with when he arrived in Nashville years ago?
So he called his friends in the band Nickel Creek and started
planning Up On The Ridge.
“I’ve always been a big fan of Nickel Creek and I knew (mandolin
player and singer) Chris Thile from bounding around in the bluegrass
circles. They were really out there with the progressive acoustic music
and I really enjoyed what they did,’’ Bentley says. “I had moved here
to do country music, and I walked into a bar and they were singing
country songs using acoustic instruments to do it. I really fell in love
with that sound, and it gave me a foundation to start from.’’
Thile’s new critically acclaimed band, Punch Brothers, recorded a
number of tunes with Bentley, including a daring cover of the U2 hit,
“Pride (In The Name Of Love).’’
Besides the Punch Brothers, the song features the high lonesome
sound of bluegrass legend Del McCoury. At first, Bentley said friends
didn’t understand his choice to cover the legendary rock band, but
says. “This is one of the first shows we’ll have for the year and every-
body will be extra excited to be out there playing.’’
It might be hard for Bentley to pry himself away from his family
in Nashville to start touring again. He and his wife, Cassidy, were
expecting a second child to join daughter Evie late in 2010. But he’s
looking forward to meeting Expo fans and said he might bring some
photos from his pumping past to share.
“These are the folks I hang out with at shows,’’ he says.
“The hardworking people.”
“ It’s important for us to have a high energy show and
a lot of fun. If it’s a good night for us, everyone else
will have a good time. This is one of the first shows
we’ll have for the year and everybody will be extra

”
excited to be out there playing.
“Pride’’ became one of several hits from the record, which also fea-
tures “Bad Angel’’ with Lambert and Johnson, and the title track.
Both “Pride’’ and “Bad Angel” were nominated for Grammy Awards,
and Up On The Ridge was nominated for Best Country Album
Grammy.
“It’s a tough song to cover, but you know if you’re going to cover
a song by a group like that, pick a big one,’’ Bentley says of choosing
a U2 song. “It was a little daunting. They’re one of my favorite
bands, and you knew going into that song that it’s going to go one
way or the other. Either it’s going to get a Grammy nomination or it’s
going to be a disaster. We’re lucky it went in (the Grammy nomina-
tion) direction.’’

ELECTRIC & LOUD

For the Pumper & Cleaner show, Bentley will perform an acoustic
set from Up On The Ridge, but mostly he and his five bandmates will
be plugged in and rowdy at Freedom Hall, a venue he’s enjoyed
playing numerous times.
“The shows tend to be electric and loud. We like to have a good
party atmosphere going,’’ he says. “But we’ll break it down and get
the upright bass and banjo out and do some things from this record.
“It’s important for us to have a high energy show and a lot of fun.
If it’s a good night for us, everyone else will have a good time,’’ he

Name: Tim Kettler, owner

Company: Action Septic Service Inc.

Backgrounder: Located in Warsaw, Ohio, we are a residential and commercial wastewater service
provider. I’m an Ohio EPA Class I wastewater operator. We do some contract treatment plant
operations in Ohio. The largest part of our business is aeration service, and we repair
wastewater equipment. We are a family company and have three full-time and one part-time
employee. We’re just starting our 25th year.

I’m at the Expo to: A big part of it is continuing education, somewhat out of necessity because I
hold various certifications that require it and the Expo is a great place to come in compliance for
those requirements. Also, you always happen to learn something new. It’s a real good place for
education, and then there’s the networking aspect and interaction that’s very enjoyable both
on a professional and a social level, and of course the new products presentation.

My Expo experience: I went to the first one in 1986 when I started in business, and just recently
I’ve gone to the last five. That’s pretty much become a regular item on our yearly agenda, and
I don’t expect that to change. It’s a really well put together show. I think there’s a lot of opportu-
nity for us as an industry to be a part of the green economy that we can all benefit from.

Since the last time we met: I received my Ohio EPA wastewater license. After coming from the Expo
I obtained certification as an NAWT systems inspector. And that actually came out of the Expo.
We also moved into bioremediation of failing systems, and that came out of the Expo as well.
We started into small excavation. That also came out of the Expo. We had a really busy year.

Did I tell you about my family? My son’s name is Malcolm.

He’s 19, and he’s worked in the business every summer
since he was about 10 years old, and each year he’s
taken on more and more of the workload. He really
enjoys it. He’s very good at using the Internet to access
ideas. He’d really like to start his own portable restroom
business. My wife, Roberta, is the office manager.
She does all of our sales – in-house and out – and
has been developing our website.

We always manage to get enough socializing and

the day’s materials that we’ve gotten.

A NEW START IN February 27 - March 1, 2012

INDY FOR 2012

By: Ed Wodalski

A
new format and a new location await visitors to the Pumper
& Cleaner Environmental Expo International in 2012. After
four years in Louisville, the show moves north along I-65
to Indianapolis.
Breaking with tradition, next year’s show reserves Saturday,
Sunday and Monday for move-in days. Education Day will be
on a Monday, while opening day of the 2012 Expo will be
Tuesday, Feb. 28. The 2012 Expo also will end on Thursday,
March 1, rather than the traditional Saturday.
Bob Kendall, owner of COLE Publishing and 2012 show sponsor,
says the midweek format should allow extra time for companies to
set up their booths and attendees to arrange travel plans.
“I think the change in the date pattern will make it easier for a
lot of attendees that want to get away, especially people working at
municipalities; they prefer to come in during the week,” Kendall says.
“They can have Sunday as a travel day and be there bright and early
for the program on Monday and then continue on with the show.”
Judith Thomas, director of convention services for the Indianapolis
Convention & Visitors Association, says Indianapolis welcomes the
challenge of being host to the 2012 Expo and believes attendees
