Mike Fisher To Be Guest Speaker at Boots & Hearts

Canadian NHL player Mike Fisher will be making his first festival on-stage appearance at Boots & Hearts Music Festival this weekend. He’s part of the free gospel breakfast on Sunday, August 11th at the main stage which will features performances by High Valley and Michelle Wright. Mike, along with TSN’s Gino Reda, will speak to fans during the continental breakfast. Mike’s wife, Carrie Underwood, will be headlining during the Festival.

Mike won the NHL Foundation Award for the 2011-2012 season for his charitable work in the community. The Nashville Predator was recognized with the award for applying the core values of hockey – commitment, perseverance, and teamwork – to enrich the lives of people in need. He will be doing a question and answer segment with TSN’s Gino Reda during the breakfast on his faith.

“Having grown up right down the road, it’s exciting to see a world-class music festival like this being brought to our region. When I heard the concept the promoters were working on for Sunday morning, I was happy to help any way that I could,” said Fisher. “Faith is obviously something that’s played a vital role in my life, and I think the idea of providing a free breakfast to festival goers while great artists perform their favourite gospel songs is really cool. It’s something that I’ve never seen or even heard of at another festival before.”

Mike is a World Vision Ambassador and recently visited El Salvador to see first-hand the impact the charity makes on the lives of those in need.

Boots & Hearts runs August 9th through to the 12th in Bowmanville, Ontario. It’s the inaugural year for the festival, which plans on becoming an annual event.

Jason Aldean: “Carrie Underwood Will Be A Great Parent”

Jason Aldean is in the latest issue of OK! Magazine, and he’s adding fuel to the fire over Carrie Underwood baby rumors (which she had put to rest 2 weeks ago!). Jason told the magazine that he has faith the Oklahoman will be a great mom someday, whenever she’s ready to have kids with husband Mike Fisher.

“She is a sweetheart. And I am sure when the time comes that she has kids, she will be a great parent… It’s hard to tell if someone has that maternal instinct until they have a kid, you know? Then they don’t have a choice and it kind of happens. They learn it.”

When asked about a possible collaboration with Carrie on his next album, he was positive about the idea but wants the right song for both of their voices. He’s currently nominated for CMA single of the year and musical event of the year for his duet with another American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson.

“I would love to work with Carrie. I think she is great. I think it has to be a combination of a lot of things and it has to be the right song for both people involved, even for the voices.”

Both Jason and Carrie are working on their new albums, which they both hope to be out sometime next year.

Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher had a date night in Nashville last night. Mike, who recently picked up the Twitter habit, tweeted a picture of himself and Carrie in the crowd at the show at Vanderbilt University. Who knew Carrie was into rock music? She was also recently spotted at the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block concert with the boys from Rascal Flatts. Maybe this was part of the deal for having Mike go to that one.

Carrie was wearing her husband Mike Fisher’s #12 Predators jersey and sang Cowboy Casanova for the Preds fans in a surprise performance. Vince Gill joined her onstage. Jo Dee Messina sang the national anthem before the game, which the Predators lost 6-3.

Mike Fisher helped his team move on past the first round yesterday for the first time in 15 years. They’re still waiting to hear who their second round opponent will be.
