RAWArtist

I had a great time at RAWArtist event that was held at Union Hall in Edmonton, Alberta. Talk about a celebration of Art in every form. There were all kinds of visual artists paint, photo, 3-D and more. There were other music performances beside my self. It was incredible bupportive enviroment that had such a great vibe.

I got to meet some people who were cutting edge in their field and I saw some incredible pieces. 
The Venue - Union Hall was amazing and I would love to perform there again. With some many LIve venues in Edmonton disappearing it was a breath of fresh air to see a venue that was thriving. All-in-All it was an excellent night thanks to RAWArtists

I won !

I can't believe that I won ! ISSA - Male Vocalist of the Year ! I am so honored. I didn't do this by myself. I had a boat load of help from some incredibly talented people.
Robert Ruby (Los Angeles) my Producer who has an incredible creative mind to bring out music I never thought was possible. Randall Thomas (Los Angeles) who does background vocals and more. He is a magician when it comes to vocals. We have sent hours and hours laughing together. Then there is Russ Paladino (New York City) who is an extraordinary sax (Horns) player who is always ready to push the envelope. He has such an incredible network of players (Like Bill Ware - Played Vibes for us).  Then there is Conor Wharton (Edmonton) from Resonate Music who records my vocals and gave me hours and hours of laughter. He is efficient and such a great talent. Last but not least Audio Animals (UK) who have mastered my music like no one else. They went above and beyond. 
That covers the technical part of winning but there more ... the experiential part which is the fans ! I know that every artist says "My fans are the best" but in my case they truly are. Dedicated and loyal beyond belief ! They voted for me day after day and to me that is dedication. My family who have supported me over the years from my wife to my sister to my family in Louisiana they are always there for me. 
Thank you to ISSA and Tamanie. Tamanie is a force that knows no limits. Starting from nothing she has built an organization that I am honored and humbled to a member ! Thank Tamanie. 
One last note ..... There is more music coming !

Where do I begin

Well there is so much that has gone on and so much time that has passed. I released 12 singles over the last 22 months and they are doing great (available on Spotify, Apple Music, and Youtube Music). Also I have appearded on TMZ twice and I am scheduled to appear in the New year. I have been doing live shows on Twitch and will continue in the new year and well as on Youtube Live. I have also been doing surprise Live performances on Instagram. WIth alll platforms it is really hard to perform covers because you never know when they are going to pull your video or mute the sound because you played covers. I think that it really limits the indie artist. Bigger artist have the staff and money to get the appropriatre permissions in order to do covers. 
Since lasat here I had to deal with the crook that stole all my content off my web site which was costly by having my lawyer Wayne Logan get involved but everything has been some what put back to normal. I had to get a second domain which allowed me to create a store for everyone to buy swag from EMO'S STORE
but my main site at emoleblanc.com has music and is managed by Telus. They are not very familar in dealing with Musicians or performers so it is a bit of a challenge. 
Christmas was good and once again my Christmas song STANDING IN LINE AT CHRISTMAS TIME is doing fantastic. My team Robert Ruby (Producer), Randall Thomas (Vocalist) and Russ Paladino (Sax-horns) have been so incredible in making things come alive. Once we have everything together Audio Animals from the UNited Kingdom master everything to bring you an incredible final sound. So to say that I am lucky to have such a fantastic team would be an understatement. 
But everything that does happen would not come together without the support of my fans. There are times when I feel like throwing in the towel and a fans will come along and tell me about how they love a certain song that help them. So just remember no matter how little of a comment or support you might give to an indie artist like me, remember it does matter. 
Now moving on to cover Live performances. I did performed at Taste of Edmonton which went well and they want me back for next year (2022). For the first time in 2 years I did a major venue - Roger's Placce wihich was amazing as usual and I hav to thank Robin Pelletier and Serge Gaston Soucy who joined me on stage. All other LIVE performances have been on Line. But my next performnace will be at Old MacDonald's Resort Music Festival Sept 9, 2022 at 4pm. We kick off the festival. Joining me will be Robin Pelletier (guitar), Serge Soucy(Keyboards), and Chad Melchert(drums). But you are best to check my web site to find out what shows I have coming up. You never know where I might pop up. I am hoping to get back to Texas to do some touring there and also planning to hit Seattle too ... 
So stay tune because as you already know it has been an incredible ride !

NEW RELEASES

NO Interstate in Mind


Well the first of many new releases is here. My latest release is call "No Interstate in Mind" and I have to thank Randall Thomas and Robert Ruby in Los Angeles for making it a reality. Both of these great friends and colleagues made it easy and so much fun creating this great cruising song.
I also have to give a huge shout out to Connor & Justin at Resonate Music School and Recording Studio for allowing me to use their facilities to record my vocal part in this song.
This song has obviously hit home with so many fans who are listening it on Spotify. At time of writing this No Interstate In Mind has over 45K streams and climbing. I am just so grateful and amazed.




My next release is coming up real soon in March 2020 and it is a fun one. This song is a great Swing song. Once again, Randall Thomas and Robert Ruby were both instrumental in making this song a reality. Robert Ruby spent a large amount of time looking for the right sound to start this song and he did an amazing job. To add to this incredible work, Randall Thomas' vocals just send this song thru the roof. Sure I did my part but without the amazing talent of Randall and Robert this song would not be the amazing piece of work that it is ....
And again, I thank Resonate Music School and Recording Studio for letting me use there facilities to record the vocal tracks and then making sure they got down to Los Angeles to Robert Ruby so that he could work his magic.
Stay tuned there is more to come !

This summer was an extremely busy one. It started in May with Rainmaker Rodeo in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, Then in June, I was off to Italy where I not only met a huge amount of wonderful people along the way but also go to experience the incredible amount of history that is every where. 
I also found out that Line dancing is very popular in Italy. 
After returning from Italy I flew to Nashville to record the single DOLLARS AND CENTS.
Upon returning from Nashville I was off to New Brunswick to spend Canadian Thanksgiving with Friends and Family. I got to perform quite a bit while I was there and was well received. 
Now I am starting to work on getting booked for summer festivals throughout Canada and the USA. 
Coming up in December, I will be performing at an Edmonton Oil Kings Game between period on December 28, 2018. The Boot Scooting Boogie Dance Hall Dance Team will be joining me for the performance of my new single. I am really appreciate the Dance team coming and supporting me.

WHAT IS HAPPENING

Well it has been a busy time for me. From perofrming at the Rainmaker Rodeo to travelling throughout Italy.
Rainmaker Rodeo was the best ! We brought in the largest audience for an opening act since they have been doing the Rainmaker Rodeo (54 years). That was the biggest compliment I could have ever received. Opening for the James Barker Band, Dan Davidson, and River Town Saints.
From there it was off to Italy for some vacation and meeting some incredible fans. We (Kerri & me) met some incredible people.
Our travels were from Cinque Terre which was beautiful to Rome, then to Perugia to Sienia then Verona then to Florence and finally to Milan where we got to meet Claus & Federica who have a radio show in Milan call Beyond the Line.
Now that I am home from the Italy trip I am off to Nashville to record my new single "Dollars and Cents" which I will be recording at the Tracking Room, one of the Largest recording studios in Nashville.
After that I will be preparing for my mini tour to Texas in October.

So Much to Say !

Emo LeBlanc at the White Elephant in the Stock Yards Fort Worth, Texas
Emo LeBlanc at the White Elephant in the Stock Yards, Fort Worth, Texas











Oh my word there is so much to tell you. I have returned from a 14 day tour in Texas and I am still going strong ! The folks in Texas were incredible and love there music. From my Agent Keli Pearce to the Sound guys at Eagle Pro Audio. I could not have asked for more. Ok here is how it all went down. My First Gig (Oct. 12, 2014) was at Filthy McNasty's in the Stock Yards, Fort Worth Texas. Then the next morning I flew to Nashville for some time with my Mentor and good friend Bernard Porter of PCG Institute in Nashville. In the Evening I sent my time celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving at the Bridgestone Arena with W.Brett Wilson and Brett Kissel. Other that were there where Roger Millions, Kelly Hrudy, Patrica Conroy, Michelle Wright, Ryan Laird, Bob Dole (Garth Brooks manager), and many more. When I returned to Dallas/Fort Worth i performed at the White Elephant in the Stock Yards, Fort Worth and let me tell you the audience was incredible ! After the performance I was off to Lubbock Texas to perform at the Lone Star Oyster Bar on 58th. I receive incredible treatment from the staff and the audience. I had a great time with two fans sitting at the edge of the stage who were entertaining in their own right. The next night (Oct. 16) I performed at The Texas Cafe (Da Spoon) which was just as fun as the night before. Then I was off to San Angelo but on my way I stop off to visit some of the little towns along the way. It was so much fun. San Angelo was great where I opened for an up and coming artist at the Little River Club. The next night (Oct 19) I performed at Wise Guys where I was treated like a king thanks to Henry and Fabian. I also got to meet some wonderful people who were celebration there wedding. After that I decided to take some time off to go visit my family in Louisiana which was awesome. My last days in Texas were spent in a cute little town called Grapevine.

Grapevine, Texas












Back in Edmonton:
As Soon as I arrived back in Edmonton I was back to performing. My First Gigs was at Big Al's House of Blues with a great Audience. Don Marcotte (Videographer) can out and shoot a bit for a new video. From there it was the next event
After Big Al's House of Blues, I was performing at the Edmonton International Airport for the Canadian Finals Rodeo. Barbara McGee and her staff were awesome. I always enjoy performing at the Edmonton International Airport because people are so friendly and have some cool travel stories ! What is up next you ask ..... Next to to start booking the Summer Festivals and the Casinos in the Area. It is going to be a lot of hard work but as Rick Barker says "A lot of people are afraid of that four letter word WORK and that is how to get ahead in the Music Business"
