We talk to Will Turpin - Musician, Producer & Bassist for Collective Soul. Celebrating three decades of continually delivering some of the most solid and exciting rock anthems, Collective Soul continue to channel their creative energy on their new double album 'Here To Eternity'. Will dives into what keeps them still at the top of their game and explains how it's not just being great players that makes them a great band. Along the way we hear about the band's gamechanger of a tour in 1995 with Van Halen and how he felt about their almost whirlwind success shortly after picking up the bass guitar and heading out on tour in their early days.

We talk to Blues Saraceno - Guitarist, Songwriter & Producer. Since leaving his home town Hartford, Connecticut as a teenager to head to the West Coast showcasing his incredible guitar playing skills, Blues Saraceno has never taken the conventional route to success. Starting out at the highest level releasing guitar virtuoso albums, touring the world with Rock & Roll Veterans before joining probably one of the biggest Hard Rock bands of 80s, the young Blues did it all on his own terms. Realising that Fame & Fortune wasn't for him he would later focus on his art and create a body of work which has been seen and heard in countless Film, TV and Video Games.
