"Who is Will Turpin (of Collective Soul)?"
/Collective Soul’s Will Turpin
It's an honor for the BoatCast to welcome Will Turpin (bass/backup vocals) of Collective Soul to the podcast. He shares his excitement about playing the upcoming Let’s Go Music Festival and relives his memories of the Rock Boat.
Collective Soul is an iconic American Rock band of the early 90s who have not only released 4 platinum records but also won multiple Billboard music awards. Will leads off by talking about how the band has evolved and how they continue to take so much pride in making sure they are the most reputable live rock band they can be. Will, whose father Bill was a lifelong musician and founder of Real 2 Reel Studios in Jonesboro, GA, truly understands the power of music. After Will's father passed in late 2018, he went on to co-own his father's studio and takes deep pride in that endeavor. It's also amazing to hear the history of the studio, as Ed Roland (lead singer) and Collective Soul essentially originated from this studio.
Will tells another amazing story about how he was in a pizza shop with Jett and Ryan of Sister Hazel when they told him about how they were going to charter 1/2 a boat. Will remembered thinking how cool the idea was but "had no idea it would turn into the franchise and the juggernaut that is now The Rock Boat". He talks about how much he and the band enjoyed their experiences on the Rock Boat and how they still have life-long friendships with people they met on the boat.
