They rocked through four or five songs before addressing the crowd. the guys walked on and proceeded to slam head first into Heavy. The lights on the stage lit up and the entrance music started to play - quite surprisingly a song that's almost 60 years old: Climb Every Mountain (from the Sound of Music). For me that's always a good sign that the night will be one to remember. There was no opening band at this show and as the lights dimmed, you could feel the electricity, the excitement, crackling in the air. I would definitely recommend seeing a show here if you get the chance. The venue was intimate but not small and there wasn't a bad seat in the house. As is the case with CS, I can't pick just one anything that's my "favorite". The band received an enormous honour in 2009 when they were inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in September.īefore I get to the set list, let me say this was probably one of my top 3 CS shows. In 2004 the band created their own independent music label, El music Group, that allowed them greater control over their music and what they released. Some of their most famous singles include ‘Breathe’, ‘Wasting Time’, ‘Gel’, ‘December’ and, of course, smash hit ‘Shine’. They have since recorded seven Number one rock hits. Since this early success, Collective Soul have gone on to achieve enormous mainstream recognition. The album was a success and went on to achieve double platinum status.
Following this surprise hit, Atlantic records quickly released the band’s first demo, hoping to cash in on their sudden popularity. The band’s breakthrough came early in their career: in 1993 their first official single ‘Shine’ became a mainstream hit and led to them being signed by Atlantic Records, a leading record label company. He started recruiting musicians in order to put a band together and throughout the years, the line-up of Collective Soul changed radically, with members coming and going until Collective Soul was made of the line up we see today.
He has worked in the music scene since the mid 80s, performing and making demos in his home town of Stockbridge. Lead singer, Roland, is responsible for the band’s formation in the early 90s. The group currently consists of lead vocalist Ed Roland, rhythm guitarist Dean Roland, bassist Will Turpin, drummer Johnny Rabb and lead guitarist Jesse Triplett.
