Bear Rinehart is used to fronting his rock band Needtobreathe in large arenas. But on this November day, he’s playing a small open-air stage as a solo artist, with an intimate audience of a couple hundred at the Highlands Food & Wine Festival, an upscale gathering in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

“I was writing too many songs for the band,” Rinehart tells Rolling Stone backstage. “There were songs I wrote that wouldn’t be right for the band [that] I forced on the records, and I was falling in love with this new thing.

It’s six miles or so from Furman University to the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. But for Bear Rinehart, lead singer of rock act Needtobreathe, that journey took over two decades.

“It’s way bigger than we really ever thought it actually would be,” Rinehart tells Rolling Stone. “And the fact we’re still doing it seems way longer. If you asked me, ‘Are you going to do it for 10 years?’ I’d say probably not. That would seem crazy.”

Going into lockdown may be the best thing that could’ve happened to Bear Rinehart. The Needtobreathe front man was fresh off of touring behind the first album for his new solo project, Wilder Woods, when he holed up with his wife and children. With no outside obligations, he took to writing early each morning in his home studio, and recording each afternoon. It was something he’d never done before.

“Covid, for me, was the craziest writing job I’ve ever had. I ended up writing maybe 80 songs in...

Exclusive: Into The Mystery, a documentary about South Carolina rock band Needtobreathe, will get a fall release in North America after Greenwich Entertainment snapped up the distribution rights.

The film, which is directed by Chris Phelps, will be released after the band’s 38-date fall tour across the U.S.

The doc chronicles the recording of the band’s latest album, during which the group decamped to a historic house-turned-recording studio in remote Tennessee to work on new music during the height of Covid and without telling a soul.

Into The Mystery offers a look at the collaboration of artists, who are struggling with the same fear and isolation that has affected everyone the last 16 months.

The band, featuring Bear Rinehart, Seth Bolt and Josh Lovelace, has sold over 2M albums and 2B streams. The film is produced in partnership with Elektra Records and Foundations Music.

Along with a lyric video for “Softly and Tenderly,...

Andrew Combs, “Don’t Tell Our Friends About Me”

A lovely reimagination of the Blake Mills original, shot through with equal parts melody and melancholy. Andrew Combs dresses up the arrangement with horns, harmonies and subdued strings, but it’s his double-tracked voice that truly steals the show, offsetting the song’s guilty conscience – this...
