Last summer (July 8), the band released its definitive feature-length documentary, “Give Me A Word: The Collective Soul Story,” via Trinity Content Partners. The trailer can be seen on the band’s official YouTube page. Directed by Joseph Rubinstein and produced by Greg Richling and Jonathan Sheldon of Pfonetic, the film is available to purchase on DVD and Blu-ray as well as on the band’s official website, while fans can watch on demand (VOD) via Amazon (North America), Apple Music (Worldwide), Google (U.K. and North America), Vudu (North America), Hoopla (North America), and Olyn (North America), among others.

“Give Me A Word: The Collective Soul Story” tells the band’s untold history: the family component to the band, the creativity, and the wisdom that has been hard won over their illustrious career. It was filmed at Elvis Presley' Palm Springs estate in early 2023 during the recording of the band’s latest album, “Here To Eternity.” Collective Soul is the only other music artist besides Elvis to ever record at the historical landmark. Not only does the film contain footage of the recording process, it also features archival footage throughout the band’s career dating back to the band's early days.

Collective Soul has sold over 15 million albums worldwide (six of which have gone Gold or Platinum) and boast seven No. 1 singles, including “Shine,” “December,” and “The World I Know.” They just wrapped a residency in Las Vegas at The Venetian Theatre inside The Venetian Resort Las Vegas (with special appearance by Edwin McCain), and soon they’ll be headlining out for more U.S. headlining shows, as well as Creed’s “Summer of ’99 and Beyond Cruise.” Tickets for all shows can be purchased on the band’s official website,
