For Official Release

As they Say, Nothing Great lasts forever…

The time has come for The Collective to bid farewell, after an amazing Decade together.

We made the decision together, that continuing forward has become untenable;
Life changes so very fast… and with life changing (in a positive way) for members of our Camp and their subsequent departure, we felt that The level of songwriting, musicianship, and excellence our fans have come to expect simply could not be matched by recreating our lineup and continuing, so, the painful yet necessary decision was made.

We part, on excellent terms with love for each other and absolutely zero drama or animosity. This decision was mutual, and made out of respect to each other and our dedicated fans.

When Matt and I founded The Collective in late 2014ish, we both had a vision to create heartfelt, driven songs that explored the Human Condition, and were fortunate to form a group of Musicians that became Brothers and did exactly that; and we have been able to reach and touch so many people, still continuing to receive emails daily from listeners expressing how we have touched their soul or helped them through a difficult time. We are grateful to be a part of so many lives.

We have performed soooo many great shows, performing alongside some of the biggest artists in the world, to some of the craziest little dive bars in the Region. Every show, every note- Together, Always.

We will certainly miss seeing our fans and familiar faces at our shows, however, All of our work will remain an indelible mark in this life for us that we are proud to have made, and we hope you will continue to “push play”.
Social Media and our additional Pages will remain active, and our Music is still streaming strong/available for purchase on your favorite platforms- we invite you to revisit, discover or rediscover our Decade of Music together.

With Love, Respect and Admiration to all
Of you who kept us reaching for the stars-

Paul, Matt, Cool Hand Luke, Big Al, and KJ-
