NEEDTOBREATHE
NEEDTOBREATHE is a multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated band known for their distinctive blend of Americana, alt-rock, and spiritual depth—earning five No. 1 albums, over three billion career streams, sold-out tours, and a devoted global following. The South Carolina–bred group—Bear Rinehart, Josh Lovelace, Tyler Burkum, and Randall Harris—enters a new creative chapter with The Long Surrender, their tenth studio album and first release for MCA.
Produced by nine-time GRAMMY-winner Dave Cobb, The Long Surrender captures the band at their most vulnerable and instinctive, recorded largely live and driven by Rinehart’s deeply personal songwriting. Led by the early standout “Momma Loves Me” featuring The Red Clay Strays, the album reflects themes of faith, redemption, and renewed clarity—showcasing a band confident enough to strip everything back and let the songs speak for themselves.
“This album really clarified that, as an artist, I’ve got to put my convictions in front of anything else,” says Rinehart. “I poured myself into it without trying to shape it for anyone or anything, and that’s what we’re going to keep doing from here on out. It’s definitely a better indicator of where we’re headed than where we’ve ever been, and in a lot of ways it feels it’s our very first record.”
Drew & Ellie Holcomb
Drew and Ellie Holcomb have built one of the most remarkable independent careers in modern Americana - not by chasing trends, but by writing songs that feel like lifelines. They met in college, married in 2006, and began playing anywhere that would have them. Now, two decades later, they’ve filled historic venues, collectively surpassed 1 billion streams, and seen their songs woven into film, television, sports broadcasts, and the everyday milestones of their listeners’ lives. Drew’s anthems have become rallying cries in theaters across the country, while Ellie’s luminous voice has topped radio charts, earned multiple Dove Awards, and inspired more than 500,000 readers through her bestselling books.
But statistics only tell part of the story. Together, they have created something rarer: a world their audience wants to live inside. From co-founding the Moon River Music Festival to touring as a duo, they’ve cultivated not just fans but community- rooms where joy and heartbreak sit side by side, and strangers leave feeling known. Their live shows feel less like performances and more like invitations - into relationships, into resilience, into hope. In an industry known for flash and burnout, Drew and Ellie Holcomb have quietly built a legacy defined by longevity, craftsmanship, and the kind of magic that turns songs into home and strangers into family.
On this tour supporting NEEDTOBREATHE, they’ll perform songs spanning every chapter of their journey - beloved anthems from Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, Ellie Holcomb favorites, and the duo songs that continue to bring their voices together.
