The show sent over these details: Stockbridge, Georgia Singer and Songwriter Ed Roland had been in and out of bands for several years when, as a last resort, he recorded a demo to shop his songwriting skills. That demo would become Collective Soul Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid. The first single, "Shine" would become an instant hit selling millions and thrusting Ed and his quickly assembled band onto the national music scene, touring extensively over the next year, culminating with a appearance at Woodstock '94.
