The Collection Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Fronted by David Wimbish, The Collection hail from North Carolina. Impressively, the band logged thousands of miles on the road, generated millions of streams and earned praise from American Songwriter, Glide, Parade and more all before signing to Nettwerk. With three full-length releases, three EPs and a number of singles in their repertoire, the band’s extensive catalog is complimented by their robust and raucous live show that has built a devout fanbase. The Collection has toured with The Oh Hellos, RIPE, Tall Heights and Nettwerk’s own Sammy Rae & The Friends. How To Survive An Ending features the previously released track “Won’t Stop Yet” and the project’s first official single “Sorry Baby,” released in September. The band lives by “rules for how to be a band.” They set boundaries, and they try to remain consistently positive, encouraging and supportive of one another. These values are present on stage and off, and underpin their community. “I hope you feel validated and empowered when you listen to us,” says David. “We don’t have to follow anyone else’s expectations. We can handle the end of something important with a light heart. I want you to find your own strength to get through anything.” Regarding the EP, Wimbish says: “I can’t stop thinking about endings - the end of a relationship, the end of my fearful identity, the end of my patience, the end of the world. All my songs started to be about these endings and how to handle them with strength and confidence, instead of being bulldozed by them. I think the music reflects this, too - it’s a more bold and confident version of The Collection and built off of the last year of the ups and downs of road life as a band family.” says Wimbish. “We've become more confident in who we are over the last 18 months, and now know how to pull each other through an ending.” Speaking to the recording process, Wimbish says, “I wrote most of these songs on an old piano I kept in my kitchen. It was between the tea cups and fridge. We recorded them all over North Carolina. Some of the tracks were recorded in the beautiful Echo Mountain Studio in Asheville, NC, which was a ‘bucket list’ experience, for sure.”
