Emerson Drive is a cornerstone of modern country music, blending gritty guitar work with pop-inflected melodies. Formed in 1995 as 12 Gauge and renamed Emerson Drive in 1999, the Canadian-born quartet rose to significant US chart success with the 2007 ballad Moments, which climbed to US Number 1. Their early US Top 5 debuts I Should Be Sleeping and Fall Into Me established them as a premiere act of the 2000s, with multiple Top 20 and Top 40 hits that kept fans singing along on radio and tour tent stages alike.
