font-family: Cambria;\">It was their tour kick off Friday night at The Sands Event Center for NeedToBreathe, as they performed for a full crowd.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">Hailing from South Carolina, these four young men possess that southern charm that was not only endearing but also quite humbling.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">The band opened with<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u201cGreat Night\u201d followed by \u201cFeet, Don\u2019t Fail Me Now\u201d, then lead singer, Bear Rinehart, almost in an apologetic manner, but with some humor, told the audience, \u201cWe\u2019re probably going to make a lot of mistakes tonight.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">Later, with his fist pressed against his heart, Rinehart pledged, \u201cI\u2019m going to give you everything I\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">In its most sincere form his plea was genuine, and at that moment, everyone knew this was going to be a great concert.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">While NeedToBreathe has become somewhat pigeonholed as Christian Rock music, their music doesn\u2019t really contain religious overtones.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">They fit the mold more so as a soft alternative rock band, with lyrics that are relatable, positive, and uplifting.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">Their style is strongly influenced geographically, almost as classic southern rock music with great harmonies.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">Where audience participation is required, and sing a longs bring everyone together.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">The members of NeedToBreathe are Bear Rinehart (lead vocals, guitar and piano),<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">Bo Rinehart (vocals, guitar), Seth Both (vocals, bass), Josh Lovelace (vocals, keyboard), and Randall Harris (drums).<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">Mixed into their set were cover songs, \u201cWhatta Man\u201d (Salt &amp; Pepa), \u201cFolsom Prison Blues\u201d (Johnny Cash), which carried an accented funky beat, and \u201cStand By Me\u201d (Ben E. King), which was played during the acoustic portion of the show.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">Closing the set was \u201cHard Love\u201d, title track of their 2016 album.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">It ranked high on the Billboard Charts, and was the fan favorite of the night as the fans screamed.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">Rinehart started the encore on piano with<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u201cWashed By Water\u201d, and the beginning portion of \u201cSomething Beautiful\u201d.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">The band then required that the audience remained quiet, as they stepped away from their microphones and performed an acoustic version of \u201cThe Outsiders\u201d, and a snippet of<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u201cSlumber\u201d.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">NeedToBreathe\u2019s 2017 tour has started off with a bang in Bethlehem.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">They are out on the road till the end of the year, with some shows already sold out.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">The band also returns for a Rock Boat cruise, hosted by Sister Hazel in January.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;
