In following his ever-tenacious muse, Roland is always looking to connect with his current Collective Soul bandmates any which way he can. I live in the studio - but then the time comes when I go, ‘Well, now I wanna go play live.’ I just love the creation of music, and the process of finding out what’s gonna happen with it next. “I mean, I don’t know what else to do, because that’s what I love to do. “People ask me if I have a hobby, but for me, it’s just music,” Roland confirms. It’s probably (well, definitely) somewhat of an understatement to say Collective Soul frontman and chief songwriter Ed Roland is unwaveringly driven in his desire to double down on doing more of what he does best - making music, sweet music, both in the studio and onstage.
