NEEDTOBREATHE has announced a six week, 28 date US fall tour called “The Stomping Ground Tour” in anticipation over their fifth album set for an early 2014 release. The six week tour sees the band trekking across the entire country except for the west, kicking off at the Wescott Theater in Syracuse, NY September 27 and ending at the 400 Watt Club in Athens, Ga on November 8.

Playing intimate clubs such as the Exit/In in Nashville, Tenn., allows the group “to get back to our roots,” said guitarist Bo Rinehart. There’s nothing more exciting than feeling music together in an up close and intimate setting.”

Ivan & Alyosha will join the band for most dates on the east coast, while The Wild Feathers will support the band some during the leg that canvasses the Midwest and South.
