Joshua Ball Leaves The Ball Brothers

Change has hit the lineup of Ball Brothers once again with the departure of bass vocalist Joshua Ball. In true “Ball Brothers” fashion, the press release for the change was both heartfelt and humorous: Chickamauga, GA – THE SKY IS FALLING! The previous line was intended to make the following stateme

Start of the Week Odds & Ends

1. Legacy Five debuted their first ever concept video late last week. The song is “Ask Me Why,” arguably one of the finest songs the group has recorded, and the story behind the song is acted out very well in the video. One cool tidbit is that the lady that the song was written about [...]
