This week’s episode of On The Porch with Front Porch Music is a little extra special. We packed up our mics and headed straight to Oro-Medonte for Boots and Hearts Music Festival!
If you’ve been, you know the weather here never plays nice. This year was no different … Friday brought storms, and the weekend turned into two of the hottest days of the summer so far. But hey, that’s all part of the festival magic, right? Mud, sweat, country music … and more sweat.

Boots and Hearts 2025 brought some major talent to the stage, including Bailey Zimmerman, Cameron Whitcomb, Hardy, Sam Hunt, The Band Perry, and so many more.
One of our favourite parts of the weekend is always the Emerging Artist Showcase. A chance to hear the future stars of Canadian country before they take over the airwaves. This year’s winner? School House, an incredible band from Ottawa who blew the crowd away.
In this episode, you’ll hear from some of our favourite Canadian friends, including:
- Tyler Joe Miller
- Zach McPhee
- Kelsie Mayne
- Jessie T
- Hailey Benedict
- Owen Riegling
- Last year’s EAS winner Sarah Vanderzon
We also caught up with this year’s showcase talent: Jade Hilton, Annika Catharina, Amanda Couture, Lake Porter, Shawn Michael Ryan, and of course, School House.

In country music, the Front Porch has long been a place of reflection. A place where you can look at the life you have inside that front door. A place where time almost seems to stand still, where you can get away. It’s also a place where you can go to observe the world as it passes by you. To think about your place out there beyond the driveway.
