Called the “fastest fingers in the Midwest!” by Press and Guide, Ball presents an upbeat program of New Orleans song, boogie-woogie piano, and swing-era favorites like “In The Mood,” “It Had to be You,” “Georgia,” “On The Sunny Side of the Street,” “What a Wonderful World,” “Bumble Boogie,” and many more. His music is an engaging event of toe-tapping piano athleticism that captures the spirit, fun, and tradition of a celebrated American music heritage.
A lifetime Metro-Detroiter, Ball trained classically at Oakland University and has gone on to perform in 15 states and internationally. In 2020, Ball was awarded a CAFE grant in recognition of his “family friendly” music contributions. With five million YouTube views, The Boogie Woogie Kid has distinguished himself as an internationally recognized practitioner of classic American songs.
