NEEDTOBREATHE brings new music to Blue Gill

Posted

SPANISH FORT, Ala. — Southern soulful rockers NEEDTOBREATHE will be headlining at Blue Gill in Spanish Fort on Tuesday, Oct. 13, to promote their newly released album “The Outsiders.”

The South Carolina-based rock outfit consists of brothers Bear and Bo Rinehart and childhood friends Seth Bolt and Joe Stillwell.

NEEDTOBREATH has an ability to mend warm, organic textures to their powerful brand of skyscraping, heartfelt rock. The latest single, “Something Beautiful,” is a Triple A radio hit and is featured in the highly esteemed USA Today playlist.

With their new album, NEEDTOBREATHE has truly come into their own, seamlessly blending ambient, arena-ready soundscapes with a decidedly Southern sensibility.

The band co-produced “The Outsiders” with three different producers: Jim Scott (Tom Petty’s Wildflowers, Wilco), Rick Beato (Shinedown, Jump Little Children) and John Alagia (Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer).

It is truly magic when the group takes the stage. The band has honed their live show the old-fashioned way — putting in the time, spending years on the road.

Aside from their skillful musicianship, there’s a spontaneous energy that intangibly connects them with their audience.

In 2006 the band released their major label debut, “Daylight,” and had a relentless, national touring schedule.

Despite being on the road nearly non-stop, NEEDTOBREATHE returned the following year with “The Heat,” which went to No. 2 on the Billboard’s Top Heatseekers chart and spawned the hit single “More Time,” a Top 10 success at Triple-A radio (sitting alongside established artists like Coldplay and Jack Johnson).

The band’s music has been featured on MTV’s “The Hills,” and countless other TV and film placements, including their Top 10 hit “More Time,” which was the most downloaded track on the soundtrack for the major motion picture “P.S, I Love You.”

The poignant ballad, “These Hard Times,” from their newest album can currently be heard in NBC’s promotional campaign for the new drama series, “Mercy.”
