New Emerson Drive Addition Expected Soon

Emerson Drive lead vocalist Brad Mates and wife Jana are expecting their first bundle of joy, a son, next month.

“Jana and I are beyond excited about becoming parents,” comments Brad. “The nursery has been ready for a couple of weeks so it’s just a waiting game now. It’s kind of surreal because he hasn’t arrived yet but we can’t wait. I am just wondering when is too soon to take him out on the golf course with me!”

The soon-to-be parents have already named their son Tyler.   A BIG CONGRATULATIONS!
