Jason Aldean
On the heels of announcing his massive High Noon Neon Tour, two-time and reigning ACM Entertainer Of The Year Jason Aldean has revealed that he’s also readying new music. REARVIEW TOWN, his eighth studio album, will be out on April 13 and fans are getting a first-listen of new music with the release of its lead single "You Make It Easy."
“Growing up in Macon, Georgia, I had a chance to learn about so many different styles of music,” Aldean explains. “Looking back on first playing in bands as a teenager, I was just soaking everything up. A lot of that comes out on this record...where I've been and who I am now.”
Aldean has always been akin to his fans and his new album REARVIEW TOWN is full of vignettes of life laid over electrifying rock 'n’ roll and country sounds, building upon his celebrated history. The upcoming album follows his last three that have each reached No.1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart, with all seven of his previous LPs achieving Platinum certification or better. His career includes more than 15 million total album sales and 19 No. 1 hits while his wide-open approach has made him a perennial live-show favourite for the format: Aldean has headlined many of the biggest stadiums in the United States and this year, Aldean will kick-off his High Noon Neon Tour tour this May, which will see him land in Canada for the second time at Boots and Hearts Music Festival. The first time he played the stage at Boots and Hearts was back in 2013, the same year that Miranda Lambert played.
Jason is nominated for Entertainer of the Year and Music Event of the Year for “Drowns the Whiskey” featuring Miranda Lambert at the 2019 ACM Awards. Tune in to see who wins April 7th at 8/7c on CBS.

The most recent release was with Pistol Annies ''Got My Name Changed Back''.

Maren Morris
GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriter MAREN MORRIS has just released her highly anticipated new single, “GIRL” from the forthcoming 2019 album and follow-up to the 2016 critically acclaimed, GOLD-certified album,‘HERO’!
Almost three years to the day, from when “GIRL” hits the airwaves, MORRIS was first introduced when her debut single, the now 2x PLATINUM, GRAMMY-Award winning, “My Church”, landed at country radio!
Since then, MORRIS has gone on to release the PLATINUM “80s Mercedes”, GOLD “I Could Use A Love Song”, her first U.S. No. 1 country single as both the performer and songwriter, and most recently the Canadian GOLD-certified hit “Rich”, which peaked at No. 1 at Canadian radio.
It’s that journey, and the experiences and unique challenges along her path, that has brought Morris from 2003 to 2019. When the powerhouse vocalist belts “Girl, don’t hang your head low. Don’t lose your halo. Everyone’s gonna be okay, baby, girl” it’s evident that those words are from a place of experience and lessons learned.
''Girl''
This will be the first time Maren has performed at Boots & Hearts, and she is going to kill it!

Cole Swindell
Cole Swindell is hot, hot, hot on the billboards country charts! “Love You Too Late” is the second single from his third Warner Bros./Warner Music Nashville album, All of It. It follows on the heels of an impressive career resume including a record-breaking eight No. 1 singles as a solo artist, 10 No. 1 singles as a songwriter, six Platinum singles, 1 Gold single, one Platinum album, one Gold album, almost 1.5 billion on demand streams, four consecutive sold-out Down Home Tours and numerous songwriting awards including NSAI Songwriter/Artist of the Year (2016) and two back-to-back CMA Triple Play Awards to name a few.
This will be Cole's first time performing on the Boots and Hearts Music Festival stage and we couldn't be more excited. He will rock the stage...can't wait!
'Love You Too Late'
As Swindell reached his eighth No.1 hit with “Break Up in the End,” we know the country star and his fans are hoping “Love You Too Late” could be his ninth No. 1 hit.

Kane Brown
Kane Brown achieved country stardom his own way — the baritone decided to post covers of tracks by Nashville stars like George Strait and Lee Brice online, which led to him racking up numbers that no label could deny. His story, and his willingness to throw any sound into his mix, makes the tattooed, biracial Brown an ideal male country star for this moment; the definition of “country” is expanding, bringing in ideas from hip-pop and synth-EDM and incorporating collaborations with pop stars (in Brown’s case, Camila Cabello) while also remaining true to its storytelling and humanism.
KANE released “Good As You” second single from Critically Acclaimed U.S. #1 Billboard 200 Debuting ‘Experiment’ Album! He is the rising star that has hit the music industry by storm. This will be Kane's first time on the Boots and Hearts Music Festival stage.

Kip Moore
Kip Moore has just unleashing “The Bull,” as the next single from his studio album SLOWHEART. With a take-no-prisoners attitude and a spiraling acoustic guitar lick, the song became a quick standout on the album, immediately resonating with Moore’s fierce fanbase during his energetic live performances. Co-written by Jon Randall and Luke Dick, the song marks Moore's first-ever outside recording, available HERE.
“This song embodies who I am and what we’ve been doing on the road as a band for years,” said Moore. "I think it’s something a lot of people can relate to, having to get back up and keep going after what you believe in. I’ve been waiting on this song to be heard."
