Collective Soul is an American rock band that originated in Stockbridge, Georgia. The group rose to international fame in the early 1990s with their breakout hit "Shine." Known for their catchy, guitar-driven sound, the band quickly established themselves as a force in the alternative rock and post-grunge landscape. The current lineup features founding brothers Ed Roland (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Dean Roland (rhythm guitar), alongside bassist Will Turpin, drummer Johnny Rabb, and lead guitarist Jesse Triplett. Over their extensive career, they have released numerous albums and earned a reputation for consistently delivering powerful rock anthems and heartfelt ballads. Their music is often characterized by dynamic energy, intricate songwriting, and Ed Roland’s distinct, soaring vocals.
Collective Soul is currently on the road for the "Summer Unity Tour," a co-headlining run with fellow '90s rock legends, Live. The tour has been praised by fans and critics alike for bringing together two of the era's most iconic bands for a night of pure rock nostalgia and powerful performances.
The band delivers a well-rehearsed and high-energy performance, working hard to connect with the audience from the first note.

The band's chemistry on stage is palpable, and they have been noted for their ability to deliver a show that is both a trip down memory lane and a testament to their enduring talent. The set is powerful and consistent, providing a solid foundation for the night's entertainment. The band's performance serves as a reminder of their significant contributions to rock music and their continued ability to captivate an audience with their timeless sound.
Fan reviews:Setlist for the show at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater
Fun night of 90's music. Live, Collective Soul, Our Lady Peace, and Rue did a fantastic job. The night was pleasant and the music was hot!
Concert consisted of four bands with Live and Collective Soul being the well known of the bunch. Both bands played many of the favorites along with some new material. The venue was packed and rocking.
Great show! Perfect weather and seating for Collective Soul. We see them every time they are around the area, one of our favorite shows!
Best ever! Live and Collective Soul was the perfect pairing. I have to say one of my favorite concerts to date.
Great show. Collective Soul put on a great show. Of course they mostly played their hits, but they had some new songs too. It looked like they were having fun as a band. Live put on a kickin show too. I'm a big fan of them too.
