biography
Named after the acclaimed University of Alabama football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, brothers Bear and Bryant "Bo" Rinehart were born and raised in rural Possum Kingdom, SC, where their pastor father ran a church camp. After moving to nearby Seneca, the two siblings were exposed to a variety of music and started playing instruments themselves. While enrolled at Furman University, Bear -- besides being an excellent wide receiver (he won the 2002 Banks McFadden trophy for South Carolina football player of the year) -- moonlighted as a vocalist, guitarist, and pianist, even finding time to perform around campus with longtime friend and drummer Joe Stillwell. Meanwhile, Bo studied architecture at Clemson while playing guitar in his spare time, and he and bassist Joe Bolt joined the Bear/Stillwell duo to form Needtobreathe.
Joe Bolt had received a degree in recording engineering, and the band honed its sound while recording several EPs at Bolt's Plantation Studios. A strenuous tour of Southeastern and Midwestern America followed. The hard work paid off when Needtobreathe came to the attention of Atlantic/Lava Records, who signed the band in 2005. A debut full-length album, Daylight (the cover of which was painted by Bo), arrived one year later, having been recorded in British Heliocentric Studios with Keane producer Andy Green. Tours with Train, Collective Soul, and Will Hoge kept the guys busy throughout the year, and they returned to the studio in December to begin work on their follow-up. The Heat was released in August 2007 and helped establish the band as one of Christian rock's most successful newcomers, spawning several singles and earning two Dove Award nominations. The Outsiders followed in 2009, boasting an epic sound reminiscent of Coldplay and the Fray. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide

- If you like them recorded, go see them live! They are a genuine band that can actually play great music. That's scarce these days. Needtobreathe is amazing.

- Needtobreathe has released 40 songs on 3 albums and 1 holiday single and I can say that every song is worth a listen. The Heat is probably be the best album to buy for its rock elements. The Outsiders mixes rock and southern stuff like a banjo and harmonica. Daylight was produced in Britain and has a pop rock sound. Go to www.needtobreathe.net to listen to their albums.
