Growing up as a farmer’s daughter, Stone Country Records artist Annie Bosko has had a lifelong connection with Ariat International, dating back to when her mother gifted her a pair of Ariat boots during her childhood. Today, the California native proudly announces her partnership with the renowned brand.
“Ariat has been a part of my journey since the very beginning and being sponsored by them is a full circle moment as they were my first pair of riding boots,” shares Bosko. “They have always been my go-to for every occasion, and I feel most confident onstage when I’m wearing my Ariat boots. My boots have seen me through so many celebratory milestones, and this is yet another dream come true.”
“Annie is a longtime fan of Ariat, and we couldn’t be more proud to partner with her,” shares Susan Alcala, VP Partnership Marketing at Ariat. “She is incredibly talented, and we are equally big fans of hers.”
In addition to their partnership, Bosko will perform at the opening of the new Ariat brand shop in Las Vegas, Nev. this Thursday, Feb. 29 as an official Ariat Artist. For more information, visit Ariat.com or follow on Instagram @AriatLasVegas.
Bosko is prepping more new music following the release of her self-titled EP, which found her making her late night debut on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” with her third most-added single “Neon Baby,” as Billboard lauds, “Bosko’s vocal is energetic…with a set of songs seemingly tailor-made for rousing live shows.”
“Annie Bosko embraces her femininity and generates an unapologetic delivery of ’90s-inspired country songs,” Country Now praises of the singer/songwriter, calling the project “further proof that Bosko is a force to be reckoned with in this industry,” while Entertainment Focus observes the EP “promises a nostalgic journey anchored in the organic twang of the ’90s golden era.”
About Annie Bosko
With a voice that beams like a ray of California sunshine, Stone Country Records/Brown Sellers Brown Management singer-songwriter Annie Bosko pairs a sound anchored deep in the organic twang of ‘90s country with simple songs told from the heart, preaching equal parts healing and honky-tonk hope. A student of legendary crooners like Patsy Cline with added inspiration from Shania Twain, George Strait, Dwight Yoakam, The Beatles and more, the Golden State native broke out in 2014 with the SiriusXM/CMT hit “Crooked Halo,” bucking the bro-country trend for a traditionally flavored anthem that has now amassed more than 3 million streams. She went on to write songs recorded by Willie Nelson and Jessica Simpson, tour alongside Tim McGraw, Dierks Bentley and Blake Shelton, sell out the famed Troubadour and perform on the Grand Ole Opry and at Ryman Auditorium – the fabled Mother Church of Country Music – while also becoming an in-demand studio vocalist and earning the title Artist to Watch from Rolling Stone Country. After a series of standout collaborations with country icons Vince Gill, Dwight Yoakam and Raul Malo, she is now embracing her true nature for a creative rejuvenation. Working with producers Derek George and Mickey Jack Cones, a new batch of music pairs unapologetic twang, clever wordplay, and deep compassion with her long standing downhome-diva vocal, capturing the full range of a timeless American art in its purest form. In 2023, Bosko released the powerful-yet-tender ballad “Dandelions” in memory of the victims of Nashville’s Covenant School shooting – a track written alongside Danny Myrick which has now become a beacon of community remembrance and faith. Lost in grief and capturing the reverberating shock of that day’s unfathomable loss, the track has been embraced by the Covenant School families themselves, with all proceeds from being donated for their benefit through ACM Lifting Lives. Her five-song EP Annie Bosko is available now, featuring sharp-yet-simple, pure-country songs written or co-written with hit makers like Jeffrey Steele, Bridgette Tatum and more, all aimed at uplifting, inspiring or just singing along with women and country-music lovers everywhere.
