Collective Soul - Ed Roland (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Dean Roland (guitars), Will Turpin (bass), Jesse Triplett (guitars), and Johnny Rabb (drums) - remain a rock and roll band through and through.
“We’re an honest rock and roll band,” affirms Roland. “We’re not going to pretend like we’re something else. We’re not chasing anything. We are proud of our accomplishments and what we do. We pride ourselves on playing rock and roll.”
Following the release of the group’s ninth full-length album See What You Started by Continuing, the band made a collective decision to record more than 160 shows over the course of the next two years.
Returning from the road, they picked the best performances from that marathon of touring to comprise Collective Soul - Live. Fittingly, they introduce the collection with a live version of their biggest hit Shine, which was released in 1993.
Lifehouse was founded by singer-songwriter and guitarist Jason Wade in suburban Los Angeles in 1999. Since then, Lifehouse has forged a path that most bands only dream about; topping the charts, having hit songs all over the radio, sharing the stage at arenas with the likes of the Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam and Matchbox Twenty. The band released their debut album No Name Face in 2000 and subsequently released seven more albums.
“We feel a profound gratitude to be able to get to this point,” echoes Bryce Soderberg, who joined the band in 2004. “That we can celebrate our accomplishments with a new tour and Greatest Hits record makes this an amazing time for us.”
