Collective Soul and HeyDreamer

For more than three decades, Collective Soul has remained one of America’s most enduring rock bands, built on soaring melodies, powerful guitars, and a touch of Southern grit. Since launching their major-label career in 1994, the Georgia-born group carved out a lasting place in rock with a string of timeless hits. Driven by the songwriting of frontman Ed Roland, the band’s catalog includes staples like Shine, December, and The World I Know, helping establish them as one of the most reliable and consistent forces in modern rock.
As the band celebrates 30 years together, Collective Soul continues to evolve with its ambitious double album Here to Eternity, recorded at the legendary Elvis Presley Palm Springs Estate, once owned by Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley. Featuring polished rock riffs, reflective storytelling, and contributions from artists like Brian Ray, the project captures the band’s enduring chemistry while drawing inspiration from the creative energy of Presley’s former home. With more than three decades of music behind them and new songs still pouring out, Collective Soul continues its steady marathon—proving their story is far from finished.
HeyDreamer is an Atlanta-based rock band known for blending soulful vocals, gritty grooves, and high-energy performances into a powerful, genre-bending sound. Fronted by singer-songwriter and lead guitarist Melody Kiser, the band fuses alternative rock with touches of soul, funk, and pop, driven by tight harmonies and dynamic rhythms from bassist Dustin Williams, drummer David Williams, and keyboardist Donnie Gee. Following their debut EP If You’re Out There (2020) and the 2022 album Dances in Wonderland, the band is preparing to release their ambitious 13-chapter concept album Celebrated Destruction of Paradise in 2026, a project fueled by a fan-backed Kickstarter campaign that raised over $30,000. Along the way, HeyDreamer has earned regional acclaim with features on 99X and performances at events like 99X Big Day Out and the Melissa Etheridge Cruise, while also helping launch the community-driven Newnan Porchfest. Signed to a production deal with Real People Music and recording at Real 2 Reel Studios—owned by Brian Collins and Will Turpin of Collective Soul—the band continues to build momentum with a bigger vision, a growing fanbase, and an electrifying live presence.
