TIM BARRY – SPRING HILL
After becoming a full time dad during the pandemic with touring coming to a halt, Tim Barry wrote the songs for Spring Hill which deliver more of the honest songs of traveling the country and of socio-political awareness.
A member of our 93X staff has it on good authority that the gritty folk punk of Live 2018 by Tim Barry (also the singer for Virginia punk rockers, Avail) is surprisingly popular amongst soldiers in Northern Ireland.

COLLECTIVE SOUL – VIBRATING
Vibrating, the new album from Collective Soul, is the band’s 11th studio album.
Regarding the band’s latest offering, lead singer Ed Roland says:
I think we’re on a roll. We’re not afraid to stretch the boundaries, but we do know how to stay in our lane when we need to. Sometimes, though, we just have to go faster. Our fans have been waiting for VIBRATING for almost three years now, and I can’t wait for them to hear it. They’re excited because both SEE WHAT YOU STARTED and BLOOD set such a high standard for where we’re going as a band, and it’s only going to continue getting better with VIBRATING. I really do believe that.
