Since forming in middle school in York, Pa., the band has built an impressive résumé which includes eight full-length albums, album sales exceeding 20 million, a huge international fan base and an extensive world-wide touring schedule.  From their debut album Mental Jewelry and their breakout follow-up album Throwing Copper, to their most recent release Songs From Black Mountain, Live has remained together for 22 years.  The band has had numerous singles reach the Billboard charts including "Selling the Drama," "I Alone,"  "Lightning Crashes," "Lakini's Juice," "The Dolphin's Cry" and "Heaven."


Collective Soul, featuring singer and songwriter Ed Roland, guitarists Joel Kosche and Dean Roland, bass player Will Turpin and drummer Ryan Hoyledrums, is touring in support of their new studio album Afterwards, released by the band's own label El Music Group.  Since the release of their first album Hints Allegations & Things Left Unsaid in 1994, the Georgia-based band has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide and has had numerous breakout singles including hits such as "Shine," "Gel," "Better Now," "December," "The World I Know," "Heavy," "Why Part 2," "Where the River Flows," "Precious Declaration" and "Listen."
