NEEDTOBREATHE - Acoustic Live Vol. 1 [2xLP]

Release Date: 11/22/2024

The return of their 2018 release recorded on their first acoustic tour. Since 1999, the Grammy-nominated southern rock band Needtobreathe have quietly emerged as a dynamic force in music, from releasing their debut album with Atlantic Records in 2006 to finding themselves playing arenas and receiving nominations for multiple Dove, Grammy, and Billboard Music Awards. Known for their jaw-dropping live performances, Needtobreathe embarked on an acoustic tour in 2017-with the band taking their catalog into a new dimension and their shows to a new level. Acoustic Live Vol. 1 was recorded on that run during 16 shows at 14 of the band's favorite theatres across the country (including Charleston Music Hall in Charleston, SC, Lincoln Theatre in Washington, DC, and the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN). The 12-song collection was produced by Needtobreathe and mixed and mastered by the band's Seth Bolt (backing vocals, bass) at his Plantation Studios in Charleston. It represents over a decade of music from the band, with songs spanning across five of their six studio albums-from tracks like RIAA Gold-certified "Brother" and "Testify" to "Washed By The Water," "White Fences," and "Stones Under Rushing Water" (featuring Drew and Ellie Holcomb), and "No Excuses" including portions of "House Of The Rising Sun" while "Oh, Carolina" mixes in The Who's "Squeeze Box."
