Sitting in with Ed Roland of Collective Soul during his three-day acoustic show in St. Lucia was an absolute dream come true.

For those who don't know, I actually ran a Collective Soul tribute band (Collected Souls) back in the Portland/Vancouver area before moving to the southern Oregon coast. To go from covering his music to being asked to sit in with the man himself? Such an honor.

Shoutout to my former drummer, Robby Olson, who was in attendance and jumped in to add harmonies and a truly unique 'percussion' performance. Make sure to watch the whole video (or go to 2:55) to see exactly what I’m talking about!
