Collective Soul Celebrate 30th Years with Forthcoming LP ‘HERE TO ETERNITY’

2024 is going to be a busy year for multi-platinum rockers Collective Soul—Ed Roland (vocals/guitar), Dean Roland (rhythm guitar), Will Turpin (bass/background vocals), Jesse Triplett (lead guitar/background vocals), Johnny Rabb (drums/background vocals)—who will be celebrating their 30th anniversary with various projects throughout the year.

First up will be their highly anticipated 12th studio release, HERE TO ETERNITY, which is due out May 17 on their label, Fuzze-Flex Records, distributed physically by AMPED Distribution and digitally by Virgin Music Group, and includes not one but two albums worth of new music, 20 songs in all. The album will be available everywhere on digital stores and streaming partners (including a Dolby ATMOS version), as a single disc CD, and as a limited-edition double-disc coloured vinyl. Pre-order info and more details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Collective Soul recorded and self-produced HERE TO ETERNITY with co-producer Shawn Grove at Elvis Presley’s estate in Palm Springs, CA. They’re the only other music artist to ever record at the historical landmark where Elvis and Priscilla Presley spent their honeymoon and celebrated their Las Vegas wedding in 1967.

Later this summer, the band will hit the road with Hootie & the Blowfish as their special guest (along with Edwin McCain) for the “Summer Camp with Trucks Tour” produced by Live Nation. The trek–which will visit 43 cities across the U.S. and Canada—kicks off May 30 in Dallas and runs through September 28 in West Palm Beach, visiting arenas, amphitheatres and select stadiums such as Boston’s iconic Fenway Park (with special guests Barenaked Ladies) along the way.

Ed Roland declares:

“30 years (yeah) you’re damn right to believe we still do our gig with an audience across the world is such a dream. Speaking of dreams, as a kid determined that rock n’ roll was my life, I dreamed of making a double album, well here you go! HERE TO ETERNITY recorded at Elvis’ estate in Palm Springs, CA. Wow, Wow, and Wow. 20 songs that truly show the personality of this band and our musical journey! This recording is not the pinnacle of the band, but it’s the best one yet! Shouldn’t we all feel the next day as our best? Well, enjoy our best till the next one.”
