"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.

Let’s Go Music Fest 2023!

Collective Soul will be a headliner at Let's Go Festival on Friday June 2nd in Crownsville, MD with LIVE and Filter! The BoatCast will surely be there for this amazing event and would love for others to come out and join us! Get your tickets here!

Lastly, stay tuned as Collective Soul will be releasing another album, which was recorded at Elvis's Palm Springs home, early next year! In the meantime check them out on their upcoming tour! https://collectivesoul.com/#tour

Who are Patrick Murphy and Steve Twigger? (of Gaelic Storm)

Gaelic Storm on Rock Boat XXIII!

The Boatcast welcomes Gaelic Storm back to the podcast. Patrick Murphy (vocals) and Steve Twigger (guitar) join the boys to discuss the recent news of Gaelic Storm coming back on the boat next year! Steve and Patrick share their excitement of rejoining the Rock Boat community and relive some of their past Rock Boat experiences (like Patrick breaking both legs jumping from the balcony during their last Rock Boat appearance). Listen as Steve and Patrick tell a hilarious story of staying on a boat (Barenaked Ladies Ships and Dip) to hang out and how they started an impromptu concert in the hallway. 

For those who have yet to see a Gaelic Storm show, they have quite a busy upcoming schedule so get out there and experience an incredible show. Check them out on their current tour across the country and The Mighty Tour 2023 as they team up with The High Kings!
