Emerson Drive is CMTT’s March Celebrity Tattle Tales

What’s up guys? We just ended the first leg of our Canadian tour a couple of weeks ago. The tour’s been going great. Getting to meet so many new people and gaining new fans is an incredibly exciting thing. We ended with a few shows in British Columbia including a show in our keyboard player Dale’s home-town of Kamloops. He even got to visit his old high school and hang out with old friends which was all caught on video.

We also went to Australia for the 1st time and had an amazing time. We were only there for 6 days so we can’t wait to get back for an extended tour which will bring us to every corner of that amazing Country. The trip started off with a show in Hunter Valley which you could almost compare to Napa Valley with all its wineries and gorgeous sceneries. We played a festival called “CMC Rocks the Hunter” which received above 10,000 visitors. It was al thrill to play our songs to our first Aussie crowd and felt very well received. We could not believe how many people knew all the lyrics to our songs!

We shot a music video for our new single “Let Your Love Speak” in Sydney. We’re really excited about the setup as we were able to once again get fully involved in the creation. David found a director named Adam Khamis out of Sydney who came on board to help develop the treatment and direct our latest production. We will have a full behind the scene short-film up on the website in the next month and the video should debut on CMT ad GAC in the next few weeks.

Stay tuned for other updates.
