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.”

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.
