Canada's Got Talent .... The Waiting Game

As I have said I had a great time at the auditions for Canada's Got Talent. The Production Crew, Staff Helpers, and Producers were fantastic. Now all I have to do is wait until they get back to me. They said they would let people know on or before Sept 30th. The next round is in Calgary. Which should be a fun time. I have been practicing in order to stay on top of every thing and to stay sharp. I have to say that practicing over and over again PAID OFF big time ! When they asked me to perform on the spot, it was like turning on a switch on stage. I think that is what impressed the judge(s). I had no hesitation. He then asked me to play a Cover song, I did, "Peaceful Easy Feeling" by the Eagles.

So, After the Auditions I had a gig at Hooliganz Pub on 124 street, Edmonton. It was an Awesome night. The Manager Crystal is definitely a class act. She treated myself and my band with incredible care and respect. I got to play a lot of my new songs as well as some of my REALLY OLD ones. But that is what a show is all about. It is a Nice historic collection of my music. My next Performance (If I am in Edmonton) will be at the Festival of Trees, Edmonton, at the Shaw Convention Centre. Still working on a time. As soon as it is decided on, I will pass it on to you. I will be performing Christmas songs which will be a new area for me.

Canada Got Talent Auditions

I had a great time at Canada's Got Talent. There was a line up outside where you get to meet people. This was the place where you could meet two types of people: 1.) Your new friend or 2.) Your Competition. The funny thing about this theory is that which person you meet is your choice. I was lucky enough to meet my new friend and not my competition. A young out going man that had a great attitude. Folks meet Mr.Cameron White ! Cameron, is from Grand Prairie, Alberta and was cool to hang out with. He went to school to play College Baseball which got my respect immediately. He is currently acting in Miss Saigon in Grand Prairie. So I guess it comes down to attitude and how you approach the situation. Cameron had a great outlook on life, in that we should all have fun. And Fun we did have ! I don't want to say if I am progressing to the next round because I promised I would announcing it at my performance Sept 17/2011 at Hooliganz Pub.

Thank You Absolute Event Planning !

I want take a moment out and Say a Huge Thank you to Christine Johnson who invited me to come out perform at the 15th Annual Dragon Boat Race in Edmonton. I had a blast and there was a ton of fun People. The races were exciting and neck and neck on some of the races. Christine and her crew did an incredible job organizing this event. It was a pleasure to work with true Professionals ! Once Again, Thank you Christine.

Great Weekend and some action

This weekend was a fantastic weekend with my sweet heart. saturday was packed. Went and worked out at Cross fit Lazarus and as you may have heard they whipped my butt. I am still sore and it is Monday. After that we did Yoga, which was my favourite. Then we went to Bul-go-gi house, met up with our neighbour, and had some incredible food. From there we went to the Latin Festival at Churchill Square. Sunday was fill with fun also. We went to Sylvan Lake where it was great as usual but the wind was a pain in the butt. A friend was to join us but she had a flat tire on the way down. Once the spare was put on she decide to head back home which was the safest option. On our home we saw an incredible accident. From the skid marks on the highway it looked like a camping trailer was being driven a little too fast and it swerved out of control. All that was left was a trailer in 2 pieces (front wall and the roof & the floor and back wall). Hopeful the family was ok. That is a crappy way to end a weekend. When we got home my sweetie went to the last bits of the Latin Festival where some pig got fresh with her. I practice my show. That sizes the weekend up. Remember, tickets for my up coming show (Sept 17/2011) will be available at The Bell Store at Edmonton City Centre starting on Tuesday (August 16,2011).

Where I work out and more !

I have to apologize for ignoring my Blog here at Blogger.com.
Today I got my butt kicked by two young Gentlemen that are great Fitness Trainers. Rich and Pete are the owners of Cross Fit Lazarus in Edmonton, Alberta and have humbled me incredibly. Today they had me beat at the warm up. But that is the only way I am going to get in shape.
I have come to the conclusion that many of the current Country Artist have incredible arms and that if I am going to compete I have to get incredible arms just like them. I know it may seem vain but let's face it, no matter what industry you are in you follow your peers lead. So if arms is what it takes, then arms it shall be. I have also started working out with yoga which is really cool. I love the fact that is makes you more flexible. Hopefully, it will help with my on stage performances.Also for those of you who are in the Edmonton Area, TICKETS  for my Sept 17 show are in and will be available at the Bell Store in Edmonton City Centre, Edmonton, Alberta starting Tuesday, August 16. They are also Available online at Online Tickets for Emo LeBlanc's Show Sept 17/2011 They are only $ 10.00. Hopefully I will see you there !  I will try to keep the blog here up to date.

Ok Where do I start ?
I suppose to perform in Nashville May long weekend but that has been postponed until
Sept or Oct. But when I do go to Nashville I will be at Tootsie's with the John Taylor Band.
John has been super to invite me to come on down and play.
Also I will be working With Tom Jackson again at the same time.
I have a TV appearance coming up on BalconyTV May 16. I am also getting
better promo photos done instead of using the amateur photos I have been using.
Jeri Goldstein has been coaching me on getting better bookings and working my way to
being an opening act.
Made a super new friend in Nashville, Red Sovine's grandson Andrew. So we are going to get together when I am in Nashville and see what kind of trouble we can get in !
New CD is definitely being worked because I have added so many new songs to my show that the show is getting a long ! Adam Gregory has been incredible at helping me along. The Guy has a huge heart and has become a good friend.
Nashville Predators are impressing the heck out of every one. Picked up a regular gig at Duke's that is still being negotiated. I wanted to a place to be able to tighten up my show and I think
that Duke's is a good place to start. A few dates are suggested for June but I don't want to promise any thing beyond that !
Hopefully,some other major gigs in the area come up for my fans. So if you are in the Nashville area in Sept/Oct check to see where I am at.
Went to see Oscar D'Leon and holy crap this guy is an incredible performer ! And he is 68 years of age !

Until later
