Republic Live, organizers of the Boots and Hearts Music Festival, announced earlier today that Justin Moore, Little Big Town, Dallas Smith, Chad Brownlee and High Valley have been added to the line up for the festival which takes place August 6th – 9th this summer at Burl’s Creek Event Grounds. Full event General Admission tickets are currently on-sale for $269.99 and details on camping and all other offerings are available at www.bootsandhearts.com Organizers are reminding fans to act quickly to avoid disappointment as all items are limited in quantity and they fully expect the festival to sell out.“Country music fans are not going to want to miss Boots and Hearts this summer with the line up we have in-store,” said Shannon McNevan, Executive Director, Republic Live. “Our fans have been asking for both of these bands for a couple years now. Justin created a massive amount of momentum with his last album and electric live shows, plus his much-anticipated new album is set to drop in the New Year. Little Big Town is country-music’s harmony powerhouse and CMA Vocal Group of the year for three years running. Their new album is huge and they’re live show is tailor-made for the Boots faithful. After blowing the roof off our kick-off party last year we couldn’t be more excited to have Dallas Smith with his new album rocking the main stage, as well as Boots ’12 alumni Chad Brownlee who is fired up to bring his new live show to Burl’s Creek this August. Our fans love the High Valley guys and say they feel like they’re part of the Boots family at this point. We’re super excited that their current single County Line is about to go Gold and is climbing the charts on both sides of the border. With another artist announcement coming in the new year we’re poised for another epic celebration of all things country.”

About High Valley

High Valley

High Valley

The Rempel brothers from La Crete, AB (near the Northwest Territories) grew up driving an Ice Road over the frozen Peace River just to leave their town. Now they’ve criss-crossed North America in tour buses, played the Grand Ole Opry and opened back to back sold out shows for Shania Twain. Billboard Magazine and Country Weekly have named “High Valley” artists to watch and SiriusXM The Highway has graduated their songs from “Highway Finds” to mainstays on the playlist. The CCMA Award winners are fresh off their “County Line” tour and the anthemic single by the same name has spent two months in the top 10 on Country radio and CMT. With a focus on Faith, Family and Farming the boys from HV encourage everyone to “Work hard, live right, and tear it up on a Saturday night.”  Visit them online at highvalleymusic.com
