Known for "delivering a passion through their music that leaves their fans feeling like they’ve just climbed down from a mountain” (Forbes), GRAMMY-nominated rock band NEEDTOBREATHE is set to bring an unforgettable, intimate experience to 18 U.S. cities this fall with The Barely Elegant Acoustic Tour 2025 with special guest Bre Kennedy. The tour will include a stop in Cincinnati, OH at The Andrew J Brady Music Center® on Wednesday, November 19.
Over the course of their storied, two-decade career, NEEDTOBREATHE has consistently proven that they are, as The New York Times puts it, “a gifted band [that] makes anthemic Southern rock that reaches for the far seats of the arena.” Renowned for their electric stage presence, the band continues to be “at their best in the live setting, where they take what’s been cultivated in the studio and allow it to erupt on stage” (Rolling Stone).
Their live set described as a “mesmerizing show for any music lover” (Loud Hailer Magazine), will also be lighting up stages this summer at the Wildflower Arts & Music Festival, Gulf Coast Jam, York State Fair, and more.

Recently, the band partnered with three-time GRAMMY Award winner Tori Kelly to release the powerful track “I’ve Got A Story (feat. Tori Kelly)” from the soundtrack album for House of David: Season One (Music inspired by the Prime Video Original Series), written by NEEDTOBREATHE frontman Bear Rinehart and Kelly. Together, NEEDTOBREATHE and Kelly deliver an uplifting anthem that balances vulnerability with strength, offering hope for those who have overcome adversity, unveiling a music video offering a glimpse into a stirring performance, featuring The Choir Room in Nashville, TN.
About NEEDTOBREATHE:
Despite a 20-year history that includes all the accolades of an iconic band, GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum band NEEDTOBREATHE came into their latest studio album with a much different frame of mind. They still felt they had something to prove. In truth, this is a band who have loomed large for years, leveraging a unique fusion of modern rock, purpose-driven soul and irresistible pop appeal into a stat line which puts them in exceedingly rare company. Formed in South Carolina in 2001, NEEDTOBREATHE has grown and evolved to occupy a unique position in the modern genre landscape. They have placed five Number One albums all across the Billboard chart spectrum, from Rock and Alternative. They have racked up three billion career streams and scored multi-platinum chart topping hits – deep-feeling anthems with a spiritual consciousness like “Brother” (feat. Gavin DeGraw), “Who Am I,” “Let’s Stay Home Tonight” and dozens more. And they’ve done it all while filling venues across the globe, either as headliners or with a diverse array of superstars like Taylor Swift, OneRepublic and Tim McGraw. Ask their fans and it’s been two decades of spirit-mining songs, master musicianship and elemental artistry, digging deep to create a series of sonic monuments to the human condition. Yet for all they’ve built, the five-piece group remains a veiled figure in the shadowed fringe of modern rock to some. To learn more, visit NEEDTOBREATHE.com.
