Good to see country festival Boots and Hearts back up and running, I had some good times at the Fest when it was held at Mosport - saw the Sadies with Gord Downie, and kudos to organisers as some of the Durham Region country music folks got in on the gig, on a line-up with some international figures.

Boots ‘n Hearts alumni (and no stranger now to international figures) Meghan Patrick is on the 2022 line-up, plus relative newcomer Robyn Ottolini, both of the Region of course. The fest had moved to Burl’s Creek in Oro-Medonte a few years ago and of course had closed up during the pandemic. But its all back, and with mega-star Shania Twain as thee headliner on Sunday Aug 7. Robyn plays the Sunday while Meghan perform on Saturday Aug 6.
