Boots & Hearts is coming, and it's easy to tell you it's one of our favourite weekends of the summer. It's also easy to tell you that we're excited to see Alee and Andrew Hyatt hit the stage to sing their songs.
These two Wax Records artists are coming to B&H to show the country music crowd what they have to offer... and if you haven't seen them before, you're in for a treat. And, if you have seen them, you know why you want to be there at the front of the stage to see each of their sets.
To get us all ready, we hooked up with Alee and Andrew for a little pre-festival Q&A action. We'd like to thank them both for their honesty, humour and use of emojis.
Q: What three words would you use to describe the feeling of getting up on a big stage in front of a bunch of rowdy country music fans?
Q: Which act are you most excited to see at Boots & Hearts this year?
Alee: Been a huge Eli Young Band since I was in junior high... so excited to finally see them live!!... but I mean, also, Brett Eldredge... 😍
Andrew: Keith Urban is definitely always a great show. Definitely looking forward to seeing as many of the acts as possible!
Q: How has the reception of your new music been with crowds so far in 2017?
Alee: Honestly, could not ask for more love from the fans! It has been pretty amazing to see social media posts with lyrics, or little messages about what certain songs mean to them... and it's always magical to see them singing along at shows! I'm pretty blessed!
Andrew: It's been amazing to see such a positive response to the current single and the record! It's what drives me to keep going!
Q: Which Andrew Hyatt song is your favourite?
Alee: For starters - every Andrew Hyatt tune is a jam. I just tend to jam extra-hard when Goodbye Gone comes on.
Q: Which Alee song is your favourite?
Andrew: Hard to pick! I love Bad Habit! Such a great hook!
