Dear Mr. Gibson,
GRAMMY®-nominated rock outfit NEEDTOBREATHE is set to release their sixth album with Atlantic Records, H A R D L O V E , on July 15. The album follows the notable success of 2014’s Rivers in the Wasteland, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and garnered an RIAA Gold certification for the single “Brother.”
Known for their superb musicianship, NEEDTOBREATHE takes pride in their gear. Whether it’s a Martin acoustic guitar or a Truetone pedal, the band has high standards for their rich, southern sound.
I would appreciate your consideration to book NEEDTOBREATHE for an episode of Guitar Center Sessions on DirecTV. The group will play both old and new singles with full band and acoustic arrangements.
In the interview segment, the band would detail the creative process behind H A R D L O V E, their humble beginnings and a gear rundown. The episode would give viewers a deeper insight into NEEDTOBREATHE’s musicianship and origins.
Hailing from South Carolina, NEEDTOBREATHE is an award-winning rock outfit consisting of brothers Bear Rinehart (lead vocals, guitar), and Bo Rinehart (guitar, vocals), Seth Bolt (bass, vocals) and Josh Lovelace (keys,vocals). Since their 2006 Atlantic Records debut Daylight, the band has continued to rise in commercial success with five studio albums that have all charted on the Billboard 200 and Billboard’s Top Christian albums chart.
The 10-time Dove Award winners recently received their first GRAMMY® nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Performance/Song for “Multiplied” from 2014’s Rivers in the Wasteland. NEEDTOBREATHE has also regularly performed on talk shows such as TBS’ Conan, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Ellen.
I hope you will consider booking NEEDTOBREATHE for a Guitar Center Sessions episode. Thank you for your time. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call me at 501-912-1101.
Sincerely,
Jacob Michael
