Country music star Dierks Bentley can now add scripted TV producer to his resume.

Bentley has signed on to produce an upcoming comedy for Fox that will be set in a bar in Nashville

Variety reports that Dierks has signed on to serve as executive producer of a new single-camera comedy series from writer and executive producer Jack Burditt, the creator of Last Man Standing whose other credits include Modern FamilyUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and The Mindy Project.

Mary Hilliard Harrington from Red Light Management will serve as another executive producer alongside Bentley. Burditt has an overall deal with Twentieth Century Fox Television, which will produce the new show.

According to Variety, the proposed series will centre around the singer-songwriters who frequent a Nashville bar, mingling their professional ambitions with their romantic lives. It is not yet titled, but Fox has committed to filming a pilot.

Bentley knows a thing or two about the topic of Nashville bars; he owns a Nashville location of his Whiskey Row chain of bars, which is one of many celebrity owned and operated bars/venues in Nashville.

Bentley released his most recent album, The Mountain, in June, scoring a No. 1 hit with its lead single, "Woman, Amen."

The  42-year-old singer is nominated for Album of the Year at the upcoming 2018 CMA Awards, and he also scored a nod for Male Vocalist of the Year.
