Expressing his enthusiasm for the upcoming projects, Ball stated, “There’s probably only one thing I enjoy more than being in the studio—writing, producing, and singing songs with people I love—and that’s taking it all out on the road and performing those songs as well as all the old favourites to the audiences I love.” (stereoboard.com)
