Ballard

In November of 2024 Ballard stepped into Postal Studios with Preston Ott (of Strangebirds, lead guitar/electric rhythm/mandolin), Ryan Fox (ryanfoxbass.com), and Eric Fox (ericfoxdrums.com). What transpired is an EP of alt-country recordings documenting Ballard’s musical journey as an artist. Enter the landscape of On the Run, the debut album from Ballard. From the rollicking, western, runaway ride of the title track, to the southwestern landscape of “City of Refuge,” and on through the country slide ballad, “Never Look Back.” Ride the wave into the jam, “Float On,” that carries you drifting into the Texas Swing of “When You Ever Gonna Settle Down” to arrive at last on a lucky streak with the ballad, “Sometimes I Lose.” Look for “City of Refuge,” the debut single from On The Run, streaming everywhere on January 10, 2025.
