     Currently in the studio recording their ninth album, singer-songwriter and lead vocalist Chad Kroeger adds, “When we started this band, never in our wildest imagination did we ever think we would get a label deal and put a record out, get a song on the radio, tour around the globe, and be gifted with the opportunity to meet so many amazing friends, supporters, and talented musicians the world over along the way.  These were all just dreams that three guys from Hanna, Alberta never could have fathomed. Thank you to everyone that has embraced All the Right Reasons in their own way.  To this day, it remains a very special album to us and we are truly humbled and thankful to all of you for making every dream we could have hoped for come true.”
