On the heels of the biggest and best-selling tour of their career, southern rock band NEEDTOBREATHE will bring its Acoustic Live Tour to the Parker Playhouse on Thursday, March 7 at 7 p.m. in support of their first-ever acoustic live album, Acoustic Live Vol. 1. The show is presented by the Broward Center for the Performing Arts and AEG Presents.
NEEDTOBREATHE has been described as “a multi-crossover band” by Atlanta Journal-Constitution and “incredible instrumentalists” by Dallas Observer. Metro Weekly raves that the “four-piece rock band, fronted by the Rinehart brothers, puts on an impressive and stirring live show, courtesy of strong group cohesion, uplifting music, and especially Bear Rinehart’s powerhouse pipes.”
Those “powerhouse pipes” will function as a key ingredient to the band’s newest endeavor— Acoustic Live Vol. 1, due out Friday, November 16 via Atlantic Records.
The 12-song collection was entirely self-recorded last year across the band’s first-ever fully acoustic tour and features commentary between tracks that transports listeners directly into the audience. One of the numerous standout moments featured on the record include the band’s retelling of their first meeting with friends Drew and Ellie Holcomb, followed by a surprise appearance by the duo at NEEDTOBREATHE’s sold-out performance at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
Acoustic Live Vol. 1 was produced solely by NEEDTOBREATHE and mixed/mastered by the band’s own Seth Bolt (backing vocals, bass) at his Plantations Studios in Charleston, S.C. Plantation Studios has functioned as the home studio to the band for all of their previously recorded studio albums with the exception of their recent offering, Forever On Your Side (Niles City Sound Sessions), which was recorded at Niles City Sound in Fort Worth, Texas.
With four tracks already available in advance of its release, Acoustic Live Vol. 1 represents over a decade of music from five of the band’s six studio albums and is a true compilation of some of NEEDTOBREATHE’s greatest hits.
