Emerson Drive Singer To Become A Dad

Another country baby is on the way. CMT.com says Emerson Drive frontman Brad Mates and his wife Jana are awaiting a visit from the stork this spring. They know they're expecting a son, whom they're naming Tyler. Mates notes, quote, "Jana and I are beyond excited about becoming parents. The nursery has been ready for a couple of weeks, so it's just a waiting game now." The singer adds, quote, "It's kind of surreal because he hasn't arrived yet, but we can't wait. I am just wondering when is too soon to take him out on the golf course with me." Tyler, who's due in April, will be the first child for Brad and Jana.
Several other country stars are also seeing their families grow. Luke Bryan, James Otto, and Rascal Flatts' Joe Don Rooney are all planning for the addition of a new little one into their homes, while John Rich, Justin Moore, and Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook have already welcomed babies this year.
