Emerson Drive Nominated For Juno Award!

Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Midas Records Nashville) - Midas Records Nashville recording artists Emerson Drive have been nominated for a Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences' Juno Award in the category of "Country Recording of the Year."

"We are ecstatic! This is the second time we've been nominated for a Juno and it still feels like a first. We love playing music and we are so honored to be recognized by our peers," says Brad Mates, lead vocalist for the group. "COUNTRIFIED is a very special recording for us because we feel it best reflects who we really are as a band. We are so appreciative to Teddy Gentry from the group Alabama, Josh Leo, Keith Follese and Brad Allen who produced this record and helped us make it so successful."

Emerson Drive is currently touring their native Canada on a cost to coast tour, aptly called COUNTRIFIED COAST TO COAST. The tour takes them to 25 different markets in Canada. At the band's show in Halifax, NS fans could no longer purchase tickets because the show sold out so quickly. Emerson Drive, ever loyal to their fans, decided they would show up a day early and do a special autograph session for those folks who couldn't get tickets to their show on Friday. The band signed autographs for over 2 hours for more than 200 people, who came out despite the frigid weather conditions.

COUNTRIFIED COAST TO COAST will continue to heat up the frigid tundra until mid March when the band heads state side for shows in the U.S. Meanwhile, the band's new single "Moments" is heating up the radio charts both in Canada and the United States where they are sitting at No 9 and the Top 30.
