Will Turpin is the longtime bassist for Collective Soul.
Collective Soul has had #1 hits, multi-platinum sales, Billboard, BMI and ASCAP Awards, and most importantly the respect of their peers and the industry as a whole. The band has had an extremely busy 2024, releasing a live album called Live At The Print Shop in January, a 20-song double album called Here To Eternity in May, and they are celebrating 30 years together by touring the country as part of the Summer Camp With Trucks Tour with Hootie And The Blowfish and Edwin McCain.
In this interview, Will tells us all about the ongoing tour, the details behind the band’s new double album, Here To Eternity, and he also gives us an update on the Collective Soul documentary! It’s always a great pleasure to connect with Will and hear about all these things and so much more.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
