Emerson Drive headlines Delburne’s 100th anniversary Bethany Zacharias
ECA Review Reporter Emerson Drive played to a sold out crowd June 29 at Delburne Agriplex to help celebrate the Town’s 100th birthday. In an interview with the band before the concert, lead singer, Brad Mates, said the band came together because of “fate”. Mates, originally from Grand Prairie,
Alberta, and band members live in Nashville, Tennessee and have been living there for 10 years writing and recording music. “We’ve been gone a long time and kind of lost touch with some of our fan base in Canada,” said Mates. “It’s been nice to play more shows closer to home.” The band arrived in Delburne after travelling overnight from Dauphin,
Manitoba where they were one of the headliners at the Dauphin Country Fest June 28. Emerson Drive comprised of Mates (lead vocals), Danick Dupelle (guitar and background vocals), David Pichette (fiddle), Mike Melancon (drums) and Dale Wallace (keyboard and background vocals), recently released “Roll”, an 11-track album, which they’ve promoted in Canada
since March while on tour with Canadian band, Doc Walker. Emerson Drive has racked up countless award nominations in both the U.S. country market at the (ACM’s) and (CMA’s), as well as in Canada where they have picked up multiple trophies for Group or Duo of the Year from the CCMA (Canadian Country Music Association).

Stock trailer crashes, kills two cows Bethany Zacharias
ECA Review Reporter On Wednesday June 26, 14 miles south of Coronation, on Highway 872 the RCMP were called to a crash site at 11:15 a.m. involving a stock trailer and single vehicle rollover. The young man driving the truck, who’s name cannot be released because charges are pending, was travelling northbound when he lost control of his truck and hit an approach causing his
vehicle to partially rollover. At the time of the accident, the man was pulling six cows and 18 calves in a stock trailer. The stock trailer ended up landing on the man’s truck after impact. Two cows were killed in the crash. RCMP said the young man caused the accident when he went to change the dial on his radio, which momentarily distracted him from the road. The RCMP also said the situation could have been a lot worse and that the young man is fortunate to be alive.
A dead cow laid beside a rollover truck along Highway 872 June 26. A young man pulling a stock trailer crashed after he went to turn dial on radio, said RCMP.
