Ahead of her performance at Boots and Hearts Music Festival, Savannah Jade spoke with Muskoka411 about the journey that led her to Canada’s biggest country music festival, reflecting on the experiences that shaped her career, the success of her music, and the excitement surrounding her upcoming set.
After auditioning for The Voice Québec in 2013, Jade knew music was the path she wanted to pursue. While the experience was intimidating, it also confirmed she had found where she belonged.
“I was so nervous, and it was pretty much my first experience performing in front of people other than my mom and dad. It was very intimidating, for sure, and I really enjoyed being surrounded by people who had the same passion as me.”
Since then, Jade has continued building momentum in the country music scene. Her 2024 solo debut, “He’s the One,” has surpassed one million streams, introducing her music to audiences across Canada and beyond. The single also earned Stingray’s Trending Track designation and led to Jade being named a Rogers Radio One to Watch.
Reflecting on the song’s success, Jade said the milestone still feels surreal.
“It is still a pinch-me moment with that song because it was my first ever single as a solo artist, and you never know what’s going to happen with your songs. It did really great, and I was super amazed by that. It was the last thing I ever imagined would happen with that song.”
As she prepares to take the stage at Boots and Hearts, Jade said fans can expect an energetic show packed with memorable moments.
“Lots of fun, dancing, and nostalgia. I am all about making people have a good time, dance, and just have fun.”
The festival is just one stop on a busy schedule for the rising country artist. Over the coming months, Jade will continue performing across Quebec and Ontario, with several major appearances already on the calendar.
“I’m doing lots of shows in Quebec near my hometown, but also in Ontario with Boots and Hearts. Also Smoke & Spurs, which I am really excited about. The CCMAs are in September, and I have some stuff I haven’t announced yet that I’m really excited about and that will be coming out soon!”
When asked whether Boots and Hearts would be the biggest performance of her career so far, Jade reflected on the significance of appearing at a festival she has dreamed of playing since the beginning of her musical journey.
“Boots and Hearts was on my checklist since I started. It’s a festival I have really looked forward to, and I am just so excited about it.”
She also shared one final message for fans ahead of her performance.
“Get ready, people, because we are going to have a blast! This is going to be so fun. I am so excited about it!”
