Boots and Hearts West featuring Shaboozey

Boots and Hearts West brings Shaboozey to Fan Park in Edmonton on August 29, 2026. The Virginia-born artist moves between country storytelling and rap cadence: acoustic guitars rubbing against 808s, folk-tinged melodies meeting trap drums and sung hooks. Since early online singles in the mid-2010s, he’s been building a world of modern cowboys, long drives and late-night Americana, a thread running through Lady Wrangler (2018), Cowboys Live Forever, Outlaws Never Die (2022) and Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going (2024).

On stage, Shaboozey leans into that mix with narrative verses, twangy riffs and beats built for movement, shifting from low-lit ballads to harder cuts without losing the focus of the songwriting. The set draws across his catalogue, linking rugged western imagery to hip-hop’s pulse, with visuals he often directs himself. It’s a live snapshot of an artist navigating US rap circles and independent country scenes, delivered with the kind of hybrid energy that makes his songs land just as well under the open sky as they do in a club.
