5 Reasons We’re Excited to See Kira Isabella at Boots & Hearts 2015

Kira Isabella is the kind of performer that we’re excited to see for the 4th time in the last 12 months. Each opportunity has been different (2014 CNE, Acoustic and the Rock ‘n’ Horse Saloon, Canadian Music Week 2015 at Boots & Bourbon) and Boots & Hearts 2015 will be the biggest of all of them!

We already imagining Kira on the main stage as the sun goes down. And while we don’t know yet if that’s how it’s going to shake out, it sounds about perfect to us. From previous experience we can tell you that Kira’s a helluva performer – and it would be foolish to think that her 3rd turn at Boots & Hearts won’t be her biggest and best!

If you love Kira, even just a little, and want to know more about who she listens to, who she’d love to record a duet with, and more – check out our Q&A from last November.

And now, 5 reasons we can’t wait to see Kira Isabella at Boots & Hearts 2015…

She Just Keeps Getting Better

Every time we see Kira up on stage she gets better and better. The last time we saw her we were in a packed Boots & Bourbon, and she was killing it. The crowd was into it. She got on top of a bar to sing a few songs. She always has a killer outfit (that doesn’t make her sound any better, but it sure is awesome) and we know that Boots & Hearts will be no different.

Her stage show continues to improve as she gains more and more experience on the road, and seeing Kira up on a big stage with a bigger crowd and a bigger sound is going to be great.

Singing Along with the Hits

From her biggest hit ever, Quarterback, to her earlier offerings like Love Me Like That and A Real Good Radio, there is no shortage of songs to sing along to when Kira Isabella takes the stage.

If you really want to be prepared we’d suggest having a listen to those 3 tracks we just mentioned along with…

♫ A Little More Work
♫ Little White Church
♫ Shake It If Ya Got It
♫ Gone Enough
♫ Make A Sinner Out Of Me

She has a lot of Fun

Kira Isabella sings a lot of really entertaining, upbeat songs. Yes, Quarterback and Make A Sinner Out Of Me slow things down a little bit, but more often things are going to be faster and peppier and a whole lot of fun.

Also, Kira has some rapping skills that we hope she busts out in a version of the medley we’ve seen a couple times in the past. You may not think of this country girl from the Ottawa area as a rapper, but she’ll bring it!

We have never not had fun at a Kira Isabella show. We don’t think this will be any different.

Energy Energy Energy

Young performers typically bring a lot of energy to the festival. And while the odds are stacked in favour of Florida Georgia Line bringing the most pop to the crowd in 2015, Kira won’t be a slouch in that category. She’ll get the crowd involved through her banter and songs, she’ll probably bust out that medley we talked about a minute ago, and she’ll get thousands of people to make a whole lot of noise.

We Love Canadian Tomatoes

We love the women making country music in Canada. And Kira Isabella is definitely in the top section of that talent right now. She’s consistently making awesome music and entertaining fans all over the country. She’s selling tickets and records and writing songs and working her ass off to be a country star. And we appreciate all of it.

For a long time we’ve been asking when women would get back to equal footing on country radio, and with nearly 50% of Boots & Hearts performers representing female musicians, we feel like we just might be getting a little closer.
