Brad, Danick and the rest of the guys were just awesome. An absolute shame the Akron-Cleveland-Canton area did not turn out all all to see them. REALLY appreciate the energy and passion Emerson displayed through the entire set. You got the feeling it was the only show they were going to do all year. You can tell the band really enjoys doing what they do, especially Brad. Really appreciate Brad sharing the story of how he got from Portland, ME to Akron that day. Had to borrow a shirt from one of the other guys as his luggage got lost when he was late getting into Newark and missed his flight to Akron-Canton. He had to fly into Cleveland instead, found his luggage hadn't made it and seemed to take it all in stride. Silver lining was he got to enjoy a little bourbon and some great conversation with an older gentleman on the flight. Brad is real, a family man, passionate about his music and gives it his all on stage. Genuine interaction with the crowd (what little there was of it). Can't wait to see them again. Do yourself a favor and go check them out. Great band to hear live - thank you for coming to Akron Emerson Drive!
