Often referred to as the “hardest working band in country music,” Emerson Drive is made up of Brad Mates (lead vocalist), Dale Wallace (keyboards), Danick Dupelle (guitar), David Pichette (fiddle) and Mike Melancon (drums). The band first started out in Grand Prairie, Alberta in 1995 and then emerged onto the Nashville country music scene in 2001 with their brand of hip country combined with stellar musicianship. Emerson Drive’s first self-titled release garnered numerous industry awards and nominations including the Academy of Country Music’s “Top New Vocal Group/Duo,” Billboard’s “#1 Top Country Artist of the Year” for 2002 and the Canadian Country Music Association’s “Group of the Year” for two consecutive years. The album produced two Top Five hits … “Fall Into Me” and “I Should Be Sleeping.” The band’s second album, What If? was released in 2004 followed by their third album, Countrified in 2006 which featured two singles … the Top 20 hit, “A Good Man” and the band’s first ever #1 song, “Moments” which went on to impact country music fans around the world. Currently the band is in the studio once again working on a brand new album and have been nominated for “Best Vocal Group of the Year” at this year’s CMA Awards which will air on ABC on November 12th. Emerson Drive will be appearing for one show at Boulevard Casino’s Red Robinson Show Theatre in May, 2009
