“There are so many ways to celebrate something like this," Ramsey, 47, said in a statement shared with PEOPLE, while also speaking about the band’s new song"Making Good Time."

“And this song, captures the spark of who every guy in this band was when we started chasing this dream. The journey is just so crazy you can’t believe it when it’s happening to you. But also, no matter what happens, you never forget it.”

“Sometimes you get so caught up in the moment, you get carried away," Ramsey quipped about the premature tour announcement.

“I didn’t realize I was going to do it, but then I did. And then it was out there. At least, the news that we’d be doing a real tour, playing our own shows and making it a night for the Odies.”

After their successful residency, the bandwrote on Instagramon Monday, Feb. 10: “We have so many people to thank! But, even better is we have so many people to celebrate and share this with. We knew it would be a blast, and we hoped we’d help our favorite charities.”

They added that the string of concerts was “more than we could’ve ever expected.”
