NEEDTOBREATHE's 'Rivers in the Wasteland' Nominated for Top Christian Album at 2015 Billboard Awards
NEEDTOBREATHE has been nominated for Billboard's Top Christian Album for RIVERS IN THE WASTELAND, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in 2014.
This is the band's first nomination, who received their first GRAMMY® nomination last year for "Multiplied," also featured on RIVERS IN THE WASTELAND.
The Billboard nomination coincides with the continued success of their latest single, "Brother (feat. Gavin DeGraw)," which received early support from Christian radio. This week, it hit top 5 at CHR and broke the top 15 at NCA. Entertainment Weekly, which premiered the track, called the song "...full, anthemic, a little bit woodsy and alarmingly catchy."
The band is gearing up to release its first live album, NEEDTOBREATHE: LIVE FROM THE WOODS on April 14. Shortly thereafter, they will launch their first North American headlining tour of 2015, "Tour De Compadres." The 40 city run supports RIVERS IN THE WASTELAND, and kicks off at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater in Tuscaloosa, AL on April 23rd. The tour will include special nights of music with some friends: Ben Rector, Switchfoot, Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors and Colony House.
