Canadian country music singer-songwriter Kelsi Mayne performed at Boots and Hearts on Saturday, August 9, 2025.
Reporter Whitney South caught up with her at the festival.
Whitney, along with photographer Sofia Jardine, captured these images from Kelsi's Boots performance.
Formerly a nationally ranked sprint hurdler, Kelsi Mayne has seamlessly transitioned into one of Canada's fastest-rising independent artists.
With over 3 million streams under her belt and a track record of performances alongside industry heavyweights, the 3x CMAOntario award nominee, SiriusXM Top of the Country finalist, and 2024 International Songwriting Competition winner is just hitting her stride.
Kelsi enthrals audiences with her infectious melodies, high energy, and powerful stage presence — gracing major festivals like Boots and Hearts, Calgary Stampede, and Cavendish Beach Music Festival, national television, stadiums, and has supported theatre tours with Meghan Patrick and Russell Dickerson.
Drawing inspiration from her Detroit Music City roots, her eclectic style blends notes of hip hop, r&b, Motown, rock & pop with Country.
