The band will wrap up three weeks on the road with a trip to Vancouver for a performance on TODAY live from the 2010 Olympic games on Feb. 16.
“I’ve never felt more excited about anything in our career,” said Kelley. “We put our heart and soul into the songs on this album. Our schedule is CRAZY, but I can’t think of anything in the world I’d rather be doing than getting this album out to the fans.”
