So, the dust has settled, the Boots hangover has likely subsided a bit.  So now we wanna know, Who do you wanna see @ Boots & Hearts 2017?  Last year we only got 4 of the artists out of the 20 we had put on our WISH LIST.   Hoping that this year we are a little more correct.  Here is who we have put together for #BH6

The only thing we would like to narrow down is the Kick Off Party!  This is what sets the tone for the entire weekend.  And when you want to party we think these are the top bands that would really know how to get the party started.
