Collective Soul
Multi-platinum-selling rockers Collective Soul (one of my all-time favorite bands) and platinum-selling singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw will hit the road this summer on a co-headlining tour throughout the U.S., including a stop in Tulsa.
The tour will come to Tulsa’s SpiritBank Event Center at 7 p.m. July 9. Doors will open at 6 p.m.

About Collective Soul:
Globally known for mega-hits such as “Shine,” “December” and “The World I Know,” Collective Soul hails from Atlanta, GA and has produced 7 No. 1 singles and sold more than 10 million records. The band broke into mainstream popularity with their 1993 debut album “Hints, Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid.” The group’s self-titled second album arrived the following year and logged a 76-week run on the Billboard Top 200. 1999′s critically acclaimed “Dosage” saw Collective Soul further its run as rock radio superstars. The first single “Heavy” set a new high mark for 15-weeks at No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock chart. “Tremble For My Beloved” from the album also appears on the gold-certified soundtrack for the hit 2008 film “Twilight.”
Their debut album for Loud and Proud/Roadrunner Records is scheduled for release August 25.
About Gavin DeGraw:
Gavin DeGraw returned to the charts this year with “Free,” a stripped-down nine-track collection of songs. Immediately following the release McGraw hit the road for his sold-out “Where It Began” tour taking audiences on a musical journey back to his roots for a series of intimate full band and solo performances. Billboard said of his recent tour “The singer (Gavin DeGraw) proved to be a triple-threat, switching back and forth between lead guitar and piano while crooning soulfully to the crowd.” His album “Free” is the follow-up to DeGraw’s self-titled 2008 album “Gavin DeGraw,” which debuted at No. 1 on the digital sales chart and No. 7 on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart last May, earning DeGraw his first Top 10 album. “Gavin DeGraw” spawned the hit singles “In Love With A Girl,” which Billboard dubbed “a rocking homerun” and the gold-certified “We Belong Together.”
