Ty Bentli Show Gets Personal During Listener Road Trip

The Ty Bentli Show, Country’s most energetic and freshest take on morning radio, announces that it has unveiled Trippin’ With Ty, a new listener contest series that takes the show’s unique ability to create ongoing, personal connections with listeners across the country to a new level.

Host Ty Bentli kicked off the ultimate country fan experience last week in his hometown of Sioux Falls, SD, with Trippin’ With Ty contest winners Amber Lepper and Kate Jandrin, passionate listeners of The Ty Bentli Show on their local country stations, NASH FM 99.5/WPKR-FM in Appleton/Oshkosh, WI, and NASH FM 104.9/WPCK-FM in Green Bay, WI. Amber and Kate won the contest by correctly guessing the destination and experience for the trip. The Ty Bentli Show listeners were given a chance to ask 3 questions each morning as they tried to narrow down the options.

Nashville-based Ty - and his 5-year-old son, Radley - picked up Amber and Kate in Appleton and flew them to the winter wonderland of Sioux Falls to truly become part of his family. Ty’s mother picked them up from the airport in a hot pink stretch limo (Amber’s favorite color) and whisked them away on a tour of Sioux Falls that included stops at an axe-throwing bar in historic downtown (where they honed their lumberjack skills and learned a LOT about each other by playing “Axe Me Anything”) and at Inca Mexican Restaurant (where Ty had taken his prom date in high school) for dinner.

The tour culminated in Amber’s first concert experience ever as Blake Shelton’s Friends and Heroes tour took over Sioux Falls’ Denny Sanford Premier Center. Ty also snuck Amber and Kate backstage for an intimate performance from Blake himself, and the chance to pack free craft services snacks into their pockets before Lauren Alaina, Bellamy Brothers, John Anderson, Trace Adkins and host Blake took the stage. Amber and Kate were also guests of the VIP room, where they were able to test out Blake’s infamous chair from The Voice!

In Amber’s follow-up on-air conversations on The Ty Bentli Show, she noted their three favorite parts of the trip: Their new friendship with Ty and Rad, throwing axes and learning secrets, and the insanely fun Blake Shelton concert!

The Ty Bentli Show features Host Ty Bentli, Country recording artist and on-air personality Chuck Wicks, Tricia Jenkins, and an expanded cast of friends and characters who get real, get wild, and get Country weekday mornings live from the Music City. The Ty Bentli Show is syndicated exclusively by Westwood One, the largest audio network in the U.S.
