NEEDTOBREATHE
GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum band NEEDTOBREATHE is bringing the energy to Summer at the Green 2024.
NEEDTOBREATHE
with special guest Anna Graves
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’ve placed five Number One albums all across the Billboard chart spectrum, from Rock and Alternative. They’ve racked up two billion career streams and scored multi-platinum chart topping hits – deep-feeling anthems with a spiritual conscious 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 – so on their ninth studio album, Caves, they’re coming out into the light. Caves is a collection of awe-inspiring melodies, breathtaking instrumentation and epic-scale energy, giving the band’s soul-probing approach a bigger, more expansive new scope.

Growing up on her family’s farm in rural southern Minnesota, outside Minneapolis, Anna Graves was ready to trade the 40 acres of horses, hay fields, and lack of television in the rectory-turned-house her family called home for life in a big city and a music career.
After several years in Nashville and Los Angeles, though, Graves is learning that, as the saying goes, there’s no place like home. Her decision to move back to the farm in early 2023 turned out to be the best thing she could have done for herself.
Anna’s first new track of 2024, “Made To Love Someone,” was released in February to an eager audience of over 10,000 people who pre-saved the track prior to its release date. With her vulnerable, ripped-from-her-life lyrics at the forefront of the song, the echoing acoustic guitar line and wispy harmonies show the artist at her most raw. Next up, “Fly” (released April 2024) reveals another step in Anna’s path to self-discovery. The track is underpinned by shimmers of acoustic guitar and sparse production while Anna croons “I’ve been learning to fly/ this whole time.”
