Boots & Hearts 2014: Weekend Predictions
Boots & Hearts 2014 is so close I can taste the food truck fare and the Vitamin Water and I can almost hear the music.
And since we’re so close, it’s time to start really thinking about what might happen and what we can expect in Bowmanville from Thursday to Sunday. So, here are some predictions that you can hold me to once everything is wrapped up at Boots & Hearts. Let’s see how many I’m right about.
Most Likely to Steal the Show: Hunter Hayes
Hunter Hayes will take the stage Sunday night in the same slot that saw Lionel Richie open for Carrie Underwood in 2012 and Dierks Bentley open for Miranda Lambert in 2013. And in both of those years, Richie and Bentley were amazing. Awesome.
Hayes is a 22 year old performer who has been on stages since he was knee high… and now that he’s grown up (for the most part) he’s making his own hits and climbing charts and is a rising star in country music. It doesn’t hurt that he’s a good looking kid that the ladies love and will scream for when he takes the stage.
I’m looking forward to a fantastic set from 7 to 8:30pm on Sunday night. You should be too.
Will We See High Valley Perform? Yes
The hosts of this weekend’s festivities are Boots & Hearts alumni and have a new album to support. So while I understand that they will be in Bowmanville to speak on the microphones, I also expect them to sing.
In years past we’ve had a secret set scheduled into the Boots & Hearts lineup with Dean Brody and Blue Rodeo coming out from behind the main stage on a flatbed trailer. This year I expect we’ll see High Valley become the secret act AND I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they also come on stage and sing When You Call My Name which they covered last year during their set and have dueted with Paul Brandt many times in the past.
Will the Boots & Hearts 2015 Headliner be Announced? Yes
I don’t know who it is… but I have some guesses. And I also think that in some way we’re going to have an announcement that tells us who is coming to Bowmanville in 2015… it’s the smart play since we all know that early bird tickets are going to be available immediately to 2014 ticket holders.
And since we’re here talking about 2015 here are my top 3 guesses for 2015 headliners that could be announced before Blake Shelton takes the stage.
Lady Antebellum
Keith Urban
Eric Church
Any of those 3 acts would get a huge reaction from the crowd and will get people excited for the 4th annual Boots & Hearts Music Festival.
Stay tuned for more from Boots & Hearts coming this week and all weekend long on Trish’s blog and right here.
