Our coverage of Boots and Hearts continues so be sure to keep an eye on our exclusive Boots and Hearts page: Our 2019 coverage is sponsored by 1000 Islands RV – Life is Short, Live It Well More Photos Cole wrapped up his set with a mashup of “Chillin’ It”, “Old Town Road” and “This is How We Roll” before blowing everyone away with a powerhouse performance of “Flatliner”.įor the younger crowd the after-hours dance party kept the energy flowing for a few more hours at the Front Porch stage while us older folk, can’t believe I just admitted to that but after a day like today not even Monster could give me the energy to keep going much longer. Highlights for me were his performances of “Hope You Get Lonely Tonight”, “Middle of a Memory”, “Breakup in the End”, and a gripping performance of “You Should Be Here” (we shared part of the performance on Facebook). He started his set with “Love You Too Late” and for the next 90 minutes cranked out about 15 songs including 2 mashups. His songs, the lyrics, I could listen to Cole all day.

Watch for both interviews coming soon.Īfter a quick dinner break it was back out to the main stage for anticipated performances by Maren Morris and Cole Swindell.Ĭole Swindell performing at Boots & Hearts Music Festival. Kris and I have crossed paths numerous times in the last year so it was good to finally get a chance to sit down and chat about his experience at last year’s Boots and Hearts and the year that followed his big win. Next up was 2018 Boots and Hearts Emerging Artist Kris Barclay. We chatted about the Kingston Music scene and new music including their new single: “Good Old Days” off their forthcoming EP Reminder due September 20 on Warner Music Canada.

The Abrams hail from Kingston, Ontario which is just an hour down the road from our home base in Prescott. These two brothers are the closest thing to a home town act we’re going to get at Boots and Hearts this year. It’s always great to catch up with John and Jack Abrams. My last two interviews of the day were with a pair of Warner Music Canada artists. Watch for both interviews coming up shortly. Hearing the stories behind some of the songs I’ve been listening to for the last few years, in person, is always a treat. Drew Baldridge was also amazing to meet and chat with. My interview with Jake, who I knew the least about going into the interview, was probably one of my favourite interviews of the day. Jake made a strong first impression coming up and introducing himself right away as if we had known each other for years. My next two interviews were with Jake Rose and Drew Baldridge respectively. I managed to catch performances of “Her Name Was Summer” and “Diamonds and Twine” before having to head off to an interview. He’s been out promoting his latest EP Panorama which was released earlier this summer. The downside to many of Friday’s daytime performances was that they were only 30 minutes long making it difficult to catch a lot of the set before having to make our way to another stage or interview. His live performance didn’t disappoint either. That song got me hooked and I’ve been a fan ever since. The first song I got to know from Drew was his duet with Emily Weisband “Rebound”.

Up next was a bucket list performance by an artist I got hooked on a few years ago thanks to SiriusXM The Highway, Drew Baldridge. Drew Baldrige performs at Boots and Hearts – photo Morgan Nordskog
