And the CMA goes to… If you didn’t get a chance to watch the CMA Awards last night we’re highly recommending you make an effort to watch it. ABC has posted the entire show on YouTube! Country Music Awards 2015 – Full Show But even without the surprises of the award winners, this is an […]
I’m not ready to put together my “Ones to Watch in 2016” list just yet, but I promise you this, near the very top of that list (when it comes) will be Cam. With more than 25,000,000 plays on Spotify, appearances at SXSW, Apple Music Fest in London, and the Grand Ole Opry, Cam certainly […]
For the third year in a row, Stuart and Jenna Walker were up on the Boots & Hearts stage doing their thing in front of the crowd. But this year was different. In 2013 The Reklaws won the Emerging Artist Showcase and in 2014 they returned to play for the crowd… but in 2015 they […]
It’s been less than a week since we drove away from Burl’s Creek with music playing in our heads and memories of an awesome 4 day weekend still being formed… but we’re already thinking ahead to Boots & Hearts 2016! We’ve seen the Google searches for Boots & Hearts predictions and have even been asked […]
Saturday at Boots & Hearts we got a double shot of Canadian country music talent when Chad Brownlee and Dallas Smith took over the main stage back-to-back. First up was Chad Brownlee, who we just saw at the Blue Jays pre-game – and who we are happy we saw again. This guy puts on a […]
What? Yes, in case you hadn’t heard Emerson Drive has been added to replace the unfortunate loss of Little Big Town. I’m disappointed we won’t be seeing Little Big Town this time around but we understand that Jimi’s health comes first. And I’m excited to see Emerson Drive back at Boots and Hearts and thrilled […]
Update: We have an answer… The Boots & Hearts schedule now shows Dallas Smith moving out of his original time slot on Sunday and into the empty slot on Saturday opening for Eric Church. Emerson Drive will now be joining the B&H lineup, taking over in Smith’s Sunday spot. Got it? Good! ——————– Sadly, Little […]

Here we are… With 2 months + a day until country music fans descend upon Burl’s Creek, the team at Boots & Hearts has gifted us with the day-to-day lineup cards! We knew that this was going to be a stacked festival. The names that kept getting announced have had country fans excited since day […]
The long weekend is here, and that means it’s time to pour a drink, turn on some music and have some fun. Sorry that I can’t handle the drinks for everyone, but whether you’re a beer person, or a whisky person, or rum, or vodka, or wine, or a Fireball person… I can help with […]
By now most of you have probably already seen the story going around the internet about Little Big Town’s Girl Crush being pulled from country radio playlists in the US. It’s a ridiculous thing to happen, it’s a ridiculous thing to have to talk about… but here we are, and this is what we’re doing. […]
It’s been 10 years since my first introduction to Little Big Town with the release of their second album, The Road To Here, and the four Top 20 singles (Boondocks, Bring It On Home, Good As Gone, A Little More You) that were all over country radio while I was living in Ottawa. Since then […]

Country music, like all music, goes through swings and cycles of popularity among certain artists or trends. Recently the prevailing trend has been Bro Country… but that’s changing – and Canada is leading the way. Yes, male artists like Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Dallas Smith and Florida Georgia Line are still selling out arenas and […]
Ali Raney and Zoe Neuman are The Lovelocks – and we’re big fans! Almost a year ago we were introduced to the band’s music through a friend and that turned into a purchase of their EP and then an interview in March 2014. Now we’re back to catch up with the ladies and see what […]
