Garth recently joined Seagram’s 7 to declare this the summer of Dive Bars, pledging to #JoinThePact to promote safe driving. Together, Brooks and Seagram’s 7 have committed to securing 700,000 pledges this summer from dive bar patrons across the country at jointhepact.com.

The song “Dive Bar” is from Garth’s upcoming album, Fun, to be released soon. The day of its debut on country radio, “Dive Bar,” was the most added song with 135 total stations. Brooks and Shelton performed the song for the first time together live in Boise, ID on July 19 on the Garth Brooks Stadium Tour.
