Collective Soul Gallery Spotlight: Seattle, WA - Sept. 16, 2009

Georgia based alt-rock group Collective Soul --said to have taken their name from a line in Ayn Rand's book "The Fountainhead"--became an overnight sensation in 1994. The band was catapulted into the limelight with the single "Shine" from their now platinum debut album, "Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid."

Currently the band is wrapping up a summer tour in support of its new album, "Rabbit," which dropped on Aug. 25. The set marks the band's eighth release and features the singles "Staring Down" and "Welcome All Again."

SoundSpike photographer Elisa Sherman caught up with Collective Soul in Seattle last night (9/16), and here are some of her best shots.
