Shane Evans (born December 29, 1975) is an American musician. He was the original drummer for the rock band Collective Soul.
Evans was raised in Stockbridge, Georgia. After graduating from Stockbridge High School, he began his career as a professional drummer for the band Marching Two-Step, which included Michele Rhea Caplinger, Ed Roland and Matt Serletic. The band performed local gigs for a few years, but never managed to grow beyond the club scene.
Evans performed on half of the tracks featured on Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid , an album consisting of Ed Roland's songwriting demos. [3] He remained in the band for the albums Collective Soul , Disciplined Breakdown , Dosage , Blender , and Youth . After the release of Youth, session drummer Ryan Hoyle had filled in for Evans on sporadic dates. The band then recorded the EP From the Ground Up in 2005; however, at the end of the year, Evans was dismissed from the group due to excessive drug use. He eventually got sober and joined his former band on stage at the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in September 2009. [4] [5]

Collective Soul is an American rock band originally from Stockbridge, Georgia. Now based in Atlanta, the group consists of the brothers Ed and Dean Roland, Will Turpin (bassist), Johnny Rabb (drummer), and Jesse Triplett. Formed in 1992, the original lineup consisted of the Roland brothers, bassist David Neal, guitarist Ross Childress, and drummer Shane Evans. Collective Soul released their Hints, Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid album on the independent label Rising Storm Records in 1993. The band went from obscurity to popularity that year after the album's lead single "Shine" received regional radio play. Around the same time, Turpin replaced Neal on bass. The album was then re-released in 1994 by the major label Atlantic Records; thus, "Shine" became a national hit as it peaked at No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock and No. 4 on the Mainstream Top 40 chart.
