Boots and Hearts 2025 got underway with a ‘Kick-Off Party’ on Thursday, August 7, 2025 in featuring Bailey Zimmerman, Justin Moore, Tyler Joe Miller, Sarah Vanderzon, along with the ‘Emerging Artist Showcase’.
To cap off the party, Zimmerman treated the Boots and Hearts audience to a special pre-release listening party for his highly anticipated sophomore album, Different Night Same Rodeo, at an exclusive late-night listening event.
Hosted by Buzz Brainard of SiriusXM’s The Highway, the event featured an intimate conversation with Zimmerman along with playback of select tracks from the album, giving the Boots and Hearts festival goers the first listen before its official midnight release.
Here are the photos captured by photographer Sofia Jardine of the opening day:
