Collective Soul takes its name seriously. It is not a fractious crew, relatively speaking. The Atlanta-based band over three decades has generated a coterie of pop-rock classics, performed thousands of times and retains three original members.
The current five-member lineup has been together for nearly nine years, with the most recent addition Jesse Triplett as lead guitarist in early 2014.
“This is the lineup that will be forever,” said Ed Roland, lead singer in a recent interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “We just enjoy each other’s company. Every night, we’re like little kids. We hop out and hug each other. We have fun onstage. We love what we do.”
