Editor's note

Needtobreathe's twenty years of South Carolina folk-rock

A band built on straightforward guitar songs and Bear Rinehart's vocals, from "Daylight" to "Out of Body."

If you want to hear what they do, start with "Testify" or "Clear." They're good examples of how the band sounds, Bear's voice up front, guitars driving everything forward.

They've been quietly making records for two decades, pulling from folk and rock without much fuss. Songs like "Testify" with Jon Foreman show their uncomplicated, guitar-driven approach. It's not about reinventing anything, just solid songs that people keep coming back to.

They formed in South Carolina around brothers Bear and Bo Rinehart, with Seth Bolt on bass and Josh Lovelace on drums. From "Daylight" in 2006 to "Out of Body" in 2020, they've kept working steadily, doing some charity work with groups like Habitat for Humanity along the way.

Archive material and source history

Needtobreathe formed in South Carolina around brothers Bear and Bo Rinehart. Their music pulls from folk and rock, with songs like "Keep Your Eyes Open" and "Something Beautiful" showing their straightforward approach. They've been at it for about twenty years, releasing albums from "Daylight" in 2006 to "Out of Body" in 2020.

Other members have included Seth Bolt on bass and Josh Lovelace on drums. Their song "Walk Hard" got some attention in 2005, though the band has kept working without much fuss about that early moment. They've done some charity work with groups like Habitat for Humanity, but mostly they just put out records and tour.

You can hear their sound on tracks like "Testify" and "Carry Me," which feature Jon Foreman. It's not complicated music, just guitar-driven songs with Bear Rinehart's vocals up front. They play what they play, and people seem to like it well enough.
