The Casey Lee Ball Foundation is a nonprofit organization where 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to pediatric kidney research. There are over 50 terminal diseases, yet kidney research has no famous spokesperson, no glamour, and as a result, it is dramatically under-funded. Casey Lee Ball, third son of Sterling Ball, President of Ernie Ball, Inc., was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease at age two. At age five, while Casey and Sterling were recuperating from kidney transplant surgery at UCLA, they decided to create the Casey Lee Ball Foundation.

"The fierce session guitar-god and 5 X Grammy winner Steve Lukather sets course for the USA. "Luke" to his fans has undeniably played on over 1000 recordings which included some of music's biggest artists and hits.

Luke and his band will be tearing through most of his new "Ever Changing Times" release and revisiting songs he wrote, recorded and also covered including a few obscure Toto gems from his former band.

The "No Jazz Tour" (through 2009) first visits Europe, USA & Japan with more countries soon to be announced. His critically acclaimed new Ride-Records release, "Ever Changing Times" has been making a significant mark amongst rock listeners worldwide.

Steve Lukather has the real rock intensity that is sometimes copied but can never be matched!"

Luke’s brand new studio album entitled "Ever Changing Times" will surely sound to all major music hub as shat the world witnessed to those enormous hits made by Toto Band, in which Luke played a major role.

The result of this new studio effort, which lasted several months in between Toto tours during 2007, are eleven songs which incorporate all aspects Steve Lukather is well known for. "The record rocks harder than Toto, but there is enough melodic stuff on there to please Toto fan. There is also stuff that sounds youthful because my co-producer Steve Macmillan and my son Trevor were keeping me honest and up to date" says Luke, "It shows a lot of my influences and music I like. If it sounds good, then keep it".
