Things are looking up ....

Well I have a bunch of new friends on face book but the cool thing about it is that one of 

my best friends found me through face book . It has been years since we last talked and 

she found my web space. Which is cool. Big "Hi" out to Paulette.

Two new videos on youtube for me, remember you have to look for CountryEmo. 

Both songs are from the up coming CDs which is funny because 

it should be the other way around (Song first, video later).

Things are progressing with all the new friends I have on face book and shout and myspace.

I was really hoping to meet with my new bass player but no luck.

I am still hoping it will happen Friday or today !

I don't usually watch the Apprentice but I think that Trace Atkins should have won.

Of course I am a little bias being Country and all.

Until later

Still Working on getting the band together

Well, I am still working on my two new releases coming SOON ! I promise.
I thought I had lost my Bass player but he is back !! Brett Osborne and I will
get together to get things working. Brett has a really good head on his shoulders and an awesome attitude. He has an easy going attitude but with a professional slant. I only can see good things coming out of this.
As far as an agent I am hoping to convince Ray woodward of taking on Emo LeBlanc
and the Clueless Cowboys.
Thats all for now.

In Memory of Jeff Healy

It is with great sadness the passing of Jeff Healy who was a great musician

and made huge contributions to Canadian music. He will be missed by all.

Grand Central id Awesome

Still working on a Band but advancing

Well, it is a slow process but I am still working on getting the Band
together. I am going to be sending out a notice to all my friends in myspace that
if they are on tour or are thinking about it to contact me for a possible
spot as opening or supporting act.
Brett Osborne is my new bass player and I am still working on confirming
Larry (traveling Yank) to the mix.
On a personal level, the garage that we are building is almost finished.
Northland Building Supplies has been a little slow but have done a great
job. They finished the roof yesterday.
Keep checking I'll keep you posted with regards to the band and
our tours dates.

New Video and more ....

Valentine Day
Well great things just keep on happening !
I finally got a new video up for you to view
and there are more on the more on the way.
Also Mayor Mandell's office is interested in
one of my song (Homeless guy) which is
on my new cd (yet to be released) for their
initiative on Homelessness.
And other songs of mine are slated for
air play at the Edmonton International Airport.
Which is completely cool !
I am getting more air in the USA. A radio station in PA
picked up 2 of my songs for air play ( regular rotation)
So I can't complain things are moving along just great.
As for Valentine's Day.
My better half and I are celebration on Saturday Feb. 16.
But here is what I have planned for her. Not too long ago she
lost the diamond out of her engagement ring and she
was extremely upset. I have since bought a new diamond and
I am getting it reset. I am going to give her the repair diamond
on Saturday. Isn't that sweet !
Best of all ..... She does not even have a clue !
I'll write what happened on Sunday so you all can come
back and read it.
until later

Name for the Band !!!

It is hard for an Artist when they are first starting out to have a name for their band.
I am lucky I figure that out already. I have decided that the name of My Band will be ...
The Clueless Cowboys.
So ads will read .....
Emo LeBlanc & the Clueless Cowboys.
Now Later

Good things just keep on coming

Today made some advancement with a new project 

that I am trying to put together with regards to a 

Resort near Edmonton. Because I don't want to 

disclose what I am up to the resort will remain nameless. 

My lawyer was extra helpful and extremely generous with 

helping me out in getting all my ducks lined up.

I am back to practicing and still looking for members 

for my band. So I will keep plugging away in hope of 

getting where I need to be ....... ON STAGE !!!

Forming a Band

I am trying to organize a band for the road. 

I need serious people who are willing to put in the

time for the pay off later.

Get in touch with me if you or you know someone who is able 

to do this ....

emolicious@emoleblanc.com

and in the subject heading put "BAND"

Practice

Practice, Practice, Practice !

I am finally getting some practicing done. 

Today I practice for 4 hours solid and it felt great to be able 

to get that accomplished. There is nothing better than to lay on 

the sofa (Couch) and just watch TV. 

But today I got it done. 

Also keep an eye on Colleen- Rae. This is her year.

Ok until later

Is Country Music still Country Music ?

People that know me understand my beef with today's Country Music. With artist like Keith Urban, Big & Rich, and to many others to mention, it looks like Country might have disappeared. Artist like Alan Jackson are doing their part to keep it alive but I sometimes wonder if that is enough. There is more Rock & Roll in today's Country Music then ever before. Let's face it, did you ever think you would see Bon Jovi singing a Country song? Not in your life.
My theory on this whole problem is simply this. Hip-Hop has push the true Rock & Roll band out of the main stream market therefore they are lsot and looking for somewhere else to market their talents. Country is the Richest and closest thing to Rock & Roll. But what disappoints me is that the Country Music industry has let this happen. Come on have a little back bone here.
Because of this shift or weakness of allowing mainstream Rock & Roll to enter Country, could be the explaination of why so many Live music Venues are closing in Nashville. When I talk to fans, and I mean true Country fans, Nashville is no longer at the tip of their tongues as the home of Country Music. That's right .... Nashville is DEAD (R.I.P.) and the new king is Branson Missouri.
No matter if you are in the USA or in Canada, Branson is the home and Capital of Country Music. That is LIVE Country Music.
If Nashville would have kept it Country, there would have been no furneral !
Let me know what you think .....
