Kris Barclay
Kris has been performing for the past 8 years, opening for such artists as Brett Kissel, The Road Hammers, Gord Bamford and Dean Brody. At the 2018 Boots and Hearts Music Festival, Kris was voted by fans as the wildcard entry into the Emerging Artist Showcase, allowing him to compete against six other artists in front of a jury of country music artists and industry execs. Kris went on to become the first ever wildcard artist to win the showcase. This earned him a spot on the main stage to close the weekend’s festival, and a trip to Nashville to write with some of country music’s top songwriters. Also part of the win was a recording deal with Warner Music Canada, that sees the label release his debut single Loved You Like That.
