Guatemala, an awesome place to visit and to help !

Guatemala was awesome ! Kerri (my better half) and I went down to Guatemala to build a house for a family in need. We were building a home for 2 boys who were abandoned by their mother and father. We figured we would be going there for a life changing experience. We got the experience and more. We had the pleasure of meeting a family who just could not get over the fact that a stranger would travel such a great distance to help them and build a home ! Yet they worked just as hard if not harder then us. I thought I was working hard by carrying 3 cement blocks in a wheel barrel when the grand mother walks by me with 2 blocks on her head and one in her arms. Did I feel like a spoiled white boy ? You bet ! But she never made me feel any less. In the process of helping a family in need, we also found a great Country to explore. Surrounded by Volcanos and incredible green vegetation, Guatemala was an explore's delight. The history, the scenery, and the open hearted people who just wanted to "Get to know you" was food for all the senses. I never heard an unkind word spoken by any one the whole 17 days. Lake Atitilan with it villages of San Pedro, San Domingo, and others. The beaches at Monterico on the Pacific coast were incredible. But the true amazing places to see were Semuc Champey which even though I took photos they never seem to justify what I was seeing. It was Awesome ! beautiful pools of blue water flowing into one another. This hidden gem is a destination that is required when you go to Guatemala. Another amazing place to rest and place your attack on Guatemala is Antigua. This small hidden town has every thing the travel needs, wants and desires. Cobble stone streets, travels every where to compare notes, culture every where you turn, and history around every corner. Antigua can't be beat for a central location to plan trips, get involved in helping out, and great food too. Exchanging notes with travellers at Sky cafe is heightened by watching the incredible sunset from the roof top cafe. So even though we went to Guatemala to build a home which we did we also build friendships and a love for Guatemala that will probably keep bring me back ..... Oh ! And if you are wondering ..... Yes I performed my Country Music to 2 full house nights in Antigua and they love there music !

Awesome Success with new Single

I have to tell you it is amazing and humbling at the same time. My new single is doing incredible. It has been moved from CBC 3 to CBC 1 which is the Main CBC Music Radio station so that means National Air Play. I have to thank every one that was there helping me out. First and foremost my beautiful and loving better half, Kerri, who tolerated my silliness. Also, the people I really have to thank is Justin McDonough of Resonate Recording Studio (www.resonatemusic.ca), who has been a recording genius. He has done things with my music that I never thought could be done. Justin, his beautiful wife Megan, and Mike (business manager) have made me feel right at home in the studio. Resonate Music School and Recording Studio has a bright future with such wonderful people at the helm. I must also thank all the musicians who have come to my rescue which include; the beautiful Colleen-Rae (www.colleen-rae.com) who's vocals have been incredibly appreciated, Smokey Fennell (www.smokinsteel.com) who's Steel guitar and banjo playing was awesome, and Robin Pelletier who's Guitar and Mandolin playing was without flaw, Aaron Pritchett (www.aaron-pritchett.com) for the moral support and also my good friend Adam Gregory (www.adamgregory.com) for being incredibly supportive. And one person I really want to thank for being funny, encouraging, and extremely insightful, Chineng Pong from Edmonton. Any time I was getting down, Chineng was right on cue to pump me up again ! The one THANK YOU that I have to make sure is seen is to the fans who without them, this would all have no point what so ever ! When I asked my fans to hit the song when it was on CBC 3 they came through incredibly and I thank every one of them. Stay Posted. And if you missed what was going on here is the link to the new single WANDERING AROUND by Emo LeBlanc on CBC 1

Progress on CD and more

Well the progress on my New CD (A Long Road Travelled) is coming along well. Meeting challenges on a regular basis, mostly financially. I have been working to get bookings but my phobia of calling people is over-powering and a really wall. I have been trying to get booked into the Big Valley Jamboree. Listen to my New Single on CBC 3 Please go take a listen to the new single. I am trying to get as many as possible listeners so that I can get more air play. Hopefully, I can get someone to financially back my CD but we will have to see. On another subject, I have been cast as an extra in a movie with Bill Bob Thornton, who is a Country Artist himself. I am hoping to get some pointers from him on how to get ahead. Post your suggestions.

Made it in ....

I made it into the CMA DIRECTORY ! I am so Happy, Happy,Happy ! I share the page with LoCash Cowboys, Lonestar, and other mega stars !
Good things are happening and I am so Blessed and I know it. Thank you !
