Before that, he was on Broadway, starring as Charlie in Kinky Boots, among other productions.īeing in the Kinky Boots company meant he was in the orbit of a music legend: Cindy Lauper. However, it wasn’t until 2020 and the release of his single Better Man that he focused his talents entirely on country music. It’s a quick time and you still want to make an impression, while giving the people who do know you what they want.”įleming first hooked up with The Agenda, a collective of Toronto musicians, in 2016 and they’ve been recording and producing his music ever since. Some of my best writing, some of the songs I love to sing and some of the songs that people would know. “We made a set list that we thought we could hit every angle with.
“I mean 25 minutes, you really have to showcase how well-rounded you are and the best songs that you got,” he said. That makes putting together a set a delicate practice for he and his band, The Agenda, trying to win over as many folks as they can in a 25-minute stretch. But to, you know, show what I got now, it’s a cool feeling, it’s a cool switch.”įleming, an Elmvale native, made his Boots and Hearts debut Saturday afternoon, performing first on the Front Porch Stage before heading to the VIP area’s Barn for a quick impromptu set once the gates re-opened and the music was able to continue post-storm.Ī busload of people from Elmvale came to cheer on the local performer, but Flemming would have been a stranger to most people at Boots and Hearts this year. I’ll forever be a fan of these people and of music, of course. “I’m here as a fan watching – and still this year, as a fan, watching – but last year I’m watching a whole ton of my inspirations and now I get to play with a bunch of my inspirations,” he said. But beyond that, Fleming feels not that much has changed. This year, he wasn’t more than four songs into his set on the Front Porch Stage before a severe thunderstorm shut down Burl’s Creek for a little over an hour Saturday afternoon. Then, in the midst of a torrential downpour, he was working his way to the front of the main stage, trying to get as close to Shania Twain as possible.
It was only last year, but Boots and Heart 2022 must seem like a lifetime ago for Graham Scott Fleming.
