2/22/03 EMERSON DRIVE SCORES FIRST #1 VIDEO
Were sending a big shout-out to Albertas EMERSON DRIVE for scoring their first #1 video on CMTs Chevy Top 20 Countdown this week. Fall Into Me has hit the #1 spot in its 17th week on our charts. The guys hit #3 last summer on our chart with I Should Be Sleeping. Emerson Drive is doing really well south of the border too with a couple of top five singles under their belts so far this past year. Recently, they named hit maker TIM McGRAW as a big influence. When we started playing the bars a lot and started learning covers and stuff and what we tried to do was stay away from everybody plays the same covers in bars and not a lot of people played Tim McGraw so we did a lot of Tim McGraw stuff, says the band. And hes just so cool. Hes got a unique voice, great production, great songs, awesome, and hes a really big influence on us

2/20/03 A BIG INFLUENCE ON EMERSON DRIVE? TIM McGRAW
When we asked Emerson Drive who some of their influences were they first named Tim McGraw.

"Tim McGraw is really a big influence on us," the group says. "When we started we started playing the bars a lot and started learning covers and stuff and what we tried to do was stay away from -- everybody plays the same covers in bars and not a lot of people played Tim McGraw so we did a lot of Tim McGraw stuff. And he's just so cool. He's got a unique voice, great production, great songs, awesome, and he's a really big influence on us." 

 2/20/03 WHY DID EMERSON DRIVE CHANGE THEIR ORIGINAL NAME FROM '12 GAUGE"
TO THEIR PRESENT NAME?

Emerson drive says, "The first name was 12 Gauge, that's how it first started out and it was funny because we had trench coats, we had cowboy hats, we had boots, we had big 12 Gauge buckles that took up half of our bellies. People loved it but -- yeah, we come from the most redneck part of Canada you can come from I think.

"The Columbine High School shooting happened and we looked just like those guys without cowboy hats, you know. We had trench coats... So we got rid of that image quick. And also there was a rap group down in New York called 12 Gauge and they had sold a few records so we weren't messing with the boys down in the 'hood, so we left that alone and we moved on to Emerson Drive. And Emerson Drive comes from a road back home called Emerson Trail.

2/8/03- Check out this really Cool Emerson Drive E Card http://www.hififusion.com/ecard/emersondrive/acm/

2/8/03-Hope you caught MWL tonight. The guys were on and they sang 2 songs "Only God" and "Fall Into Me"  Both songs.... the guys sounded AMAZING!!!! plus chatted with Cledus, (and for the record his name is PATRICK Cledus not Jeff...)

2/8/03 -The members of Emerson Drive have been singing a different song since moving to Nashville a few years ago from Alberta, Canada. However, the six-piece band had the unique opportunity to perform both "The Star-Spangled Banner" and the Canadian national anthem Wednesday night (Feb. 5).

"We actually sing the American anthem more than we do the Canadian these days," lead vocalist Brad Mates tells CMT.com while the band traveled to Ohio to perform prior to what turned out to be the Columbus Blue Jackets' 4-4 draw against the Vancouver Canucks.

"We only get back to Canada maybe once or twice a year, so 95 percent of our time is spent down here in the South," Mates says. "When we do the anthem, we usually do the American one, obviously, but it will be neat tonight." While Mates never took for granted the performances of either anthem, he says the songs have taken on an even greater significance. "Especially in this past year, there's been a lot of stuff that has gone on in the world," he says. "When you do get a chance to sing the anthem, it puts into perspective what we are here for and what we stand for. It does mean a lot."

The trip to Columbus also provided some welcome entertainment for the Emerson Drive members. "We don't get to take in too many hockey games because we're so busy all the time," Mates says, "so it's kind of nice to sit down and watch a game."

Emerson Drive return to Nashville this weekend to begin work on their new DreamWorks album -- and to make an appearance on CMT Most Wanted Live. The band's MWL appearance airs Saturday (Feb. 8) at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

Emerson Drive's latest single, "Fall Into Me," remains solidly in the Top 10 of Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks after no less than 32 weeks on the chart. The song's video has also widened the group's fan base.

"We've always had fun making videos," Mates says. "I remember when we first did the video for [the debut single] 'I Should Be Sleeping.' It was a great introduction to Emerson Drive, just basically showing everybody what we're all about as six different people. I think 'Fall Into Me' has more of a story line to it. Once again, it gave us a chance to realize what video-making is all about.

"For us, these last couple of years have been incredible, from shows to recording albums to making videos. It's all been an eye-opener for all of us. We just have to embrace it each day because you never know how long it's going to last."

Any young musician could learn a lot about career longevity by spending time with songwriter-producer Richard Marx, who produced "Fall Into Me." Ironically, Mates had no idea he was destined to meet the '80s pop star when he bought a copy of Marx's Greatest Hits CD while visiting his parents in Canada.

"A week later, we found out that he had listened to [an advance copy of] the Emerson Drive album," Mates notes. "We were passing through Chicago for the afternoon and he was wanting to meet us, just to hang out and get to know us. So we stopped in at his place, had lunch with him and listened to some music."

With some record company executives present for the meeting, Marx and the band listened to several songs, including "Fall Into Me," written by Danny Orton and Jeremy Stover. "When Richard heard 'Fall Into Me,' he was just flipping out. He couldn't believe how great the song was. The funny thing was that the album was already finished. It was ready to go." Within two days, Marx was in the producer's chair when Emerson Drive recorded "Fall Into Me" and "How Lucky I Am," two tracks added at the last minute to their debut album.

Marx will be producing Emerson Drive's next album, and the band is looking forward to the studio work. "Obviously, we're trying to outdo the first album," Mates says. "If we have that mindset, then for each album after this, we're hoping that things just keep growing."

The band will be juggling their studio time with concert dates, but Mates says nobody is concerned about the hard work ahead. "We toured six years before we had a record deal," he explains. "When we got a record deal with DreamWorks, it didn't really faze us when they said, 'OK, you're gonna be out 300 days a year.' We were like, 'Wow, we've got another 20 extra days that we're not working this year.'"

1/26/03 Fall Into Me has gone Number one on the CMT Top 20 countdown 

1/21/03 Fall Into Me is still doing great on the charts so the release of the new single "Only God" has been delayed a bit longer. But from what I hear the wait will be worth it.

1/21/03- Congrats to the guys for winning a  Billboard Award for Top Country Artist Duo/Group for 2002.Plus the guys have also been nominated for an award at the Canadian Radio Music Awards these awards are given out during Canadian Music Week this  February.

1/15/03-EMERSON DRIVE ECHOES OF ALABAMA
Seeing Alabama come to a career turning point this week as they retire from the concert trail, reminded me of my first interview with them over 20 years ago. They were making their first visit to the West Coast to radio tour and meet some national media in support of their breakthrough single, "My Home's in Alabama." As they left our studio, I happened to catch them leaving town in their now famous green and white Dodge van pulling an equipment trailer. It was just the four of them, Randy driving, Teddy reading a road map spread out on the dashboard, Jeff and Mark in the back seat as they tried to find their way onto an L.A. freeway for a grueling, 2000 mile trip back home.

Because of that experience the first time I saw country music's newest band sensation, EMERSON DRIVE, it was déjà vu all over again. In a video profile of the six guys, there they were riding in their 15-passenger van that had been their wheels for the last four years. It reminded me instantly of that first meeting with Alabama. When I told them about the comparison, they were pleased to know that a band as great as Alabama had started as humbly as they had. "It's kind of fun to hear about a legend band starting somewhat the same way we have," they said. "It's a good feeling to know we're not the only ones!"

Note: Chart-wise, this appealing group of musicians from Grande-Prairie, Alberta, Canada got off to a better start than the guys from Fort Payne, Alabama. Alabama took three chart records to break out and "My Home's in Alabama" peaked at #17, while Emerson Drive went to ten with their debut release, "I Should Be Sleeping." Of course, Alabama's fourth release, "Tennessee River" was the first of a record-setting 21 consecutive #1 hits, something Emerson Drive would also love to emulate

 

 1/8/03 An interview that Emerson Drive taped with Rob Simbeck for ABC Radio Network's "American Country Countdown" will air on the countdown show every other weekend in January, 2003.

 1/7/03 New Video Shoot Wraps Up In Houston

Pat Allingham (fiddle) - "I plan on visiting my family and relaxing. I may even go over to Vancouver Island for a week and visit my best friend who I haven't seen in a year. Hopefully I'll be able to do some fishing and I also plan on drinking lots of spiced rum and eggnog!"
