Title - Boot Scootin’
Artist - 3 Pairs of Boots
California-based husband-and-wife duo Andrew Stern and Laura Arias of 3 Pairs of Boots share a talent for pairing catchy melodies with heartfelt messages.
Influenced by genre-bending acts like Buffalo Springfield and the Byrds as well as country bards Johnny Cash and Shania Twain, 3 Pairs of Boots are rooted in rock-and-roll, with catchy melodic hooks and engaging lyrics pulled from both history and modern life.
Main songwriter Stern crafts songs that showcase lead singer Arias’s distinctive vocals, together creating the band’s compelling, Americana-leaning blend of folk, rock, and country.
After releasing their 2019 debut album Gone South, Arias and Stern developed YouTube series Cook’N’& Country, pairing cooking with live country music. They released sophomore 3 Pairs of Boots album Long Rider in January 2021, a bluesy collection named after “Lady Long Rider” Bernice Ende.
During the 2020-2021 quarantine, Arias and Stern produced three outstanding Livestream shows from their home studio. They also wrote, recorded, and produced Mighty Love, their third full-length album which released in the fall of 2022.
In the fall of 2024, the duo has just released their much anticipated 4th studio album in five years, Boot Scootin’, and album that leans into the band’s country roots.

With 3 Pairs of Boots achieving just the right balance between lightheartedness and profundity here on this new recording, they open on the beautifully crafted pop-country of the titular Boot Scootin’ and the more cultured Tempt My Fate and they are backed by the whistling twang of Please Tell Me, the all-embracing Upon A High Horse and the impassioned Long Rider.
Along next is the atmospherically-charged Reno and the melodic, mid-tempo balladry of Lost And Found and they are backed seamlessly by the lush Dark Sun Rising, the album rounding out on the free flowing, majestic country vibe that drives the buoyant My American Boy, closing on the dulcet, fluctuating ballad Runaway.
Boot Scootin’ was written and produced by Andrew Stern and mixed and mastered by Rob Beaton. “Boot Scootin’” is Laura Arias on vocals; Greg Perkins on background vocals; Andrew Stern on stringed instruments; Dave Cohen on keys; and Randy Cooke on drums.
