Needobreathe

BIOGRAPHy

Needtobreathe

American rock band Needtobreathe originally formed in Seneca, South Carolina in 2001. The band was founded by brothers Bear and Bo Rinehart and has grown to include a talented lineup of musicians. They have spent over two decades crafting a unique, powerful musical style that seamlessly blends alternative rock, southern rock, folk, and anthemic pop melodies. The band released their debut album, Daylight, in 2006 and quickly built a reputation for their incredibly passionate songwriting and high-energy live performances. They achieved massive success in both the Christian music world and the mainstream rock charts with hit albums like The Outsiders, The Reckoning, and Rivers in the Wasteland. Their smash-hit single “Brother” became a massive radio success and earned them widespread national recognition, including multiple Dove Awards and a Grammy nomination. Needtobreathe is widely praised for their ability to write deeply emotional, uplifting songs with massive, stadium-sized choruses that inspire audiences. They are a legendary live act, known for selling out historic arenas and amphitheaters across the United States and headlining major festivals. Despite changes in their lineup over the years, the band remains as creative and driven as ever, continuously releasing new music, including their acclaimed album Caves, and delivering unforgettable, spiritual rock and roll experiences to their dedicated fanbase.
