Emerson Drive in upcoming "Nancy" comic strip

Thursday, March 30, 2006 – Emerson Drive will make the funnies next week.

Emerson Drive will join the world of Nancy, Sluggo and Aunt Fritzi in the "Nancy" comic strip on Tuesday, April 4.

A country music fan, "Nancy" creator Guy Gilchrist often mentions country artists in the strip and decided to include Emerson Drive in an upcoming column as a thank you for the group's charitable efforts.

"Emerson Drive is one of Aunt Fritzi and Nancy's favorite bands," explains Gilchrist. "In the Nancy strip, Aunt Fritzi writes an entertainment column for newspapers and magazines, so I thought it would be fun to put a reminder note on her refrigerator to interview Emerson Drive for an upcoming column. Emerson Drive does a lot to support charitable causes and this is our small way of saying 'Thanks'."

Emerson Drive released a new single, "A Good Man." They are touring the country and gearing up for the release of their brand new Midas Records Nashville CD slated for a summer release.

What If?
"What If?" by Emerson Drive is breezy and glossy pop-country, if you like that sort of thing. This second album (like its debut) was produced by Richard Marx who - and you can almost see this one coming - is a breezy and glossy pop singer/songwriter/producer. The result of this pairing is akin to a fluffier sounding Lonestar - assuming, of course, anything even gets any fluffier than that ever-so-feathery Lonestar. But whether these songs were composed-by-committee - it took nearly a full baseball ...
Emerson Drive
Emerson Drive follows in the footsteps of Highway 101 and Sawyer Brown, bands named after streets - in this case, the Emerson Trail from that hotbed of country and western music Western Alberta. Unfortunately, the nomenclature is the only thing E.D. has in common with those two talented bands. The guys have an undeniably pleasant way of harmonizing, some naive enthusiasm for themselves ("Ours is the Mt. Everest of work ethics" bassist Jeff Loberg avers, even though these guys can't be bothered to ...
