IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 6, 2016) - Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (
"I know how much Boot Barn supports country music and country music artists -- both established and emerging -- so representing Shyanne is something that feels very natural to me," said Ballerini. "Plus, many of my fans are Boot Barn customers so this gives me another way to share and connect with them."
Recently, to celebrate the partnership, Ballerini and Boot Barn teamed up to give away 30 pairs of new boots to the students in the Leadership Class at Dinuba High School in Dinuba, CA, as a reward for spearheading the school's annual food drive competition to benefit FoodLink. Their hard work and passion for giving back to the local community exemplifies the spirit of the Shyanne brand. Dinuba High School, along with eight other high schools in Tulare County, participated in this intense competition running from November 2 through November 24 to bring in the most pounds of food for the grand prize win: an on-campus concert with Kelsea Ballerini presented by106.7 KJUG COUNTRY, HITZ 104.9, 99.7 Classic Rock and My 97.5 FM. On March 29, Ballerini performed a memorable concert on Dinuba High's football field, including her smash hits "Love Me Like You Mean It" and "Dibs", and new single "Peter Pan." Following the show, the singer/songwriter met the students and signed autographs.
"We are thrilled to have Kelsea Ballerini as the brand ambassador for Shyanne," said Jayme Maxwell, Vice President of Marketing at Boot Barn. "Shyanne is all about high quality, style and value. It's a brand that really connects with the lifestyle of country music fans and embraces the country values they hold dear. Kelsea is the perfect choice to represent Shyanne's blend of traditional western style and fresh American design."
