Born during the rise of grunge and alternative rock, Collective Soul broke into mainstream popularity when they rose to international fame in 1993 with the rock anthem “Shine.” The multi-platinum quintet has been making music for two decades since then and has a catalog of #1 hits under their belts. Collective Soul helped shape and define alternative rock with lots of guitars and attitude. Collective Soul was formed in the small town of Stockbridge, Ga., in the early 1990’s. The group consists of principal songwriter and frontman Ed Roland (lead vocals/keyboards/guitars), Dean Roland (rhythm guitarist), Will Turpin (bassist), Johnny Rabb (drummer) and Jesse Triplett (lead guitarist). The band’s debut album Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid was originally released in 1993 on Atlanta indie label Rising Storm. The album was a collection of Ed Roland’s demos that spread like fire through the college circuit and the popularity of the album locally spurred Atlantic to pick it up for a major-label release. “Shine” quickly became the rock anthem played across the country on radio and on MTV and set the band up for an arena tour with Aerosmith. Their self-titled second album was a triple platinum juggernaut and would define their sound with guitar driven songs and passionate vocals. The album produced five Top Ten hits and two of the singles–“December” and “The World I Know”–charted on the Top 40, which spoke to the band’s crossover appeal. In 1997, the band went back into the studio to produce their third album Disciplined Breakdown. The album earned Collective Soul a spot on the charts at #16, and produced hit singles “Precious Declaration,” which was #1 four weeks; and “Listen,” #1 for five weeks), which also charted on the Billboard Hot 100, at #65 and #72, respectively. Critically acclaimed Dosage was released in 1999 and produced the hit singles “Run” and “Heavy,” which would take Billboard’s top spot for a record 15 weeks. Collective Soul’s fifth album, Blender, was released in 2000 and, according to Rolling Stone, “simply shreds with unapologetic classic-rock energy.” The album went gold and produced smash hits including “Why, Part 2,” “Vent,” and duet with Elton John “Perfect Day.” The band released a greatest hits collection in 2001 entitled 7even Year Itch: Greatest Hits 1994-2001. Following that album, Collective Soul recognized the music industry was evolving and was one of the first bands to create their own label to have more independence and control over their sound. And, in 2004, that label El Music Group released the dynamic album Youth. From the Ground Up (2005) and Home (2006) were also released under the El Music Group label, along with a DVD featuring their live concert with the Atlanta City Youth Orchestra. In 2007, the band teamed with Target to be the exclusive retailer for the band’s next album Afterwords, from Roadrunner Records. This arrangement was one of the first such exclusive album release deals to be made by a band with a sole retailer. The album was loved by fans and opened at #25 on the Billboard Comprehensive Albums Chart and was #5 on the Billboard Top Internet Albums Chart. In 2008, Collective Soul found themselves on the soundtrack for the film Twilight with “Tremble for My Beloved” from Dosage. Following the film’s success, the song’s exposure earned Collective Soul new popularity and connected with a younger audience. Collective Soul released their self-titled eighth studio album in 2009. The single “Staring Down” charted at #18 on Billboard‘s Adult Top 40. The album debuted at #24 on the Billboard 200 and the single “You” also charted on the Billboard Adult Top 40. Collective Soul’s music has often been covered by well-known artists. In 2001, Dolly Parton won a Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Performance with her cover version of “Shine”. In further recognition of their artistic achievement, Collective Soul was inducted into The Georgia Music Hall of Fame in 2009. Additionally, as the principal songwriter for the group, Roland was individually inducted as a songwriter in 2014. The platinum-selling rock band is readying for the Fall 2015 release of their long-awaited ninth album, See What You Started by Continuing, followed by a tour to celebrate the band’s 21st birthday. Ed Roland says the band took some time off, came back energized about what they are and always have been: a rock band. “This is the best and most rocking album we’ve done. It’s one of those, ‘just sit back and rock’ records.” Collective Soul continues to rock quite simply for the love of music. The band that helped sonically define alternative rock is more focused and energized than ever. And as Ed Roland puts it, fans can continue to expect “lots of guitars and a fun attitude from the southern gentlemen of rock and roll.”

CS might be the greatest rock and roll band left performing. Their body of work is immense, they played for almost 2 hours and you are left totally amazed and satisfied, yet knowing there is so much more they could do. Ed Roland is one of the best singer/songwriters/front men of all time, and seems to finally be getting some of the critical recognition he and his band deserves. Becoming a cliche at this point, but they are one of the most unappreciated bands of all time. Performance was as usual energetic, and the sold out crowd was totally into it. All of the band are great musicians at the top of their game, they know how to perform live and truly seem to love what they are doing. It was a great night, and my family and I will always go to see them anytime we are able to.
Century Center Bend, ORAnother amazing show by Collective Soul. The venue was perfect, and the band was on fire. Ed's interactions with the crowd were excellent and he made 2 young kids night when he posed in the background for a few pictures while singing. For the last show of the tour, they still had a lot of energy, but you could tell they were looking forward to the break. There were moments when you could see the person, and not the rockstar, which made some of the songs more poignant and meaningful. The opening band, The Stir, had so much energy, I thought they were going to fall off the stage. They were all over the place, but musically, they we're tight, with a good mix of guitars, bass, and drums. They have a good future. This show was well worth the extra wait, and I look forward to seeing Collective Soul when they come back.
Centre In The Square Kitchener, CanadaThe guys had a great but short show at the Walmart AMP with Edwin McCain and Hootie & the Blowfish. No offense Blowfish fans, but Collective Soul should have been headlining this. They have the hits and the experience and are just so much better musicians and entertainers. Ed took the stage in a flashy red jacket and just dominated some of their classics. The threw in a fun homage to AC/DC with a cover of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap that had the audience jumping! I think they only played one of the songs off their new double album Here to Eternity - would definitely like to hear some of those played live in concert. Wish I had written down the set list but was too excited after not seeing them in concert for a few years. Always a good show!
Walmart AMP Rogers, ARCollective Soul was amazing. Glad they were playing so close by. The concert venue had literally no air circulation (hence the minus half star), but it was classy of them at the Fillmore to hand out free water bottles. It felt like Switchfoot and opening acts went longer than usual opening acts, and while it was cool, just after a while I’m thinking being on Collective Soul! Set list included some of my favorite songs: Gel, Where the River Flows, Heavy, Shine, Run, December, World I Know, and some stuff off their new album. I wish they would perform Why Pt. 2 in concert sometime, but knew that would be a stretch. They were awesome live, much better than any studio track. Also had a live performance of Happy Birthday (Ed Roland’s birthday) that’s what happens when you have a birthday on tour haha!
The Fillmore Silver Spring, MDShow was a great value for the money. Our Lady Peace, Live, and Collective Soul were great, played long sets, and sang some of our favorites. Opening group was just meh. Concessions were very good and the lines were not long. My wife needed water due to the heat and they were very nice to switch out the soda for ice water. What could be better ? For the opening act and for Our Lady Peace he volume on the foot pedal bass drum was much to high and drowned out the singers and other instruments. Really poor mixing by the sound crew. It got better once Live took the stage. Both men's bathrooms are way to small and standing in line that long is a real drag. Overall we enjoyed the show after they got the sound right.
