4/4/2008 Staff Country Music Group Emerson Drive does a national anthem double-header with performances for the Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Royals on April 7-8th. The band will perform back-to-back anthems for the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field on Monday, April 7th as they take on the Minnesota Twins, and for the Royals at Kauffman Field as they play the New York Yankees on Tuesday, April 8th. As special guests hand-picked by each club to perform the National Anthem at both opening day ceremonies, Emerson Drive will also helm the 7th inning festivities for each team including fan autographs & giveaways for The White Sox and a 7th inning performance for the Royals of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” Emerson lead singer Brad Mates commented, “This is going to be fun. I’m a big baseball fan and season openers are always exciting. It’s a real honor to be part of these big opening days for the White Sox and for the Royals….Plus, they’ve given us great seats! Not a bad way to spend an afternoon or two.”
