ROSS CHILDRESS
Lead Guitar

Ross Childress was born on September 8, 1970. He grew up in Stockbridge, GA. In fact, his relationship with Will goes back to Cub Scouts and Little League. Ross began playing guitar at nine when his parents got him an acoustic guitar. By junior high he was playing electric guitar and music had become an obsession. "I spent so much money on records that my dad was worried about me," says Ross, who was listening to everything from Ozzy Osbourne to Run DMC.

After high school, he played with a number of rock bands - including one that, in late 1992, opened a show in Atlanta for Marching Two-Step. Within a week, Ross was the newest member of the band that would soon become Collective Soul.
