There are only so many bands that I will make the effort to see every single time they come to town. For the past 5 years, Needtobreathe has been one of these bands. The very first time I saw them at Axis, there were about 50 people there and I had no idea who any of the bands were. Since then, Needtobreathe has played pretty much the entire Boston circuit – Paradise Lounge and Rock Club, Cafe 939, Avalon….I was proud to hear that they would be headlining at the House of Blues on their current 42-date national tour.

The show started off with “Prisoner” and from there on out the set list was strong. Some of my all-time favorites to hear live, “Girl Named Tennessee” and “We Could Run Away” were definite highlights.

The new tracks that Needtobreathe shared with the crowd blended right in with their popular classics. I’m really anticipating their new release – with each album their material gets better and better.

After the main set, the encore started off with a beautiful acoustic rendition of “Valley of Tomorrow”. Check out the video below.
