GRAMMY nominated multi-platinum band NEEDTOBREATHE are a dynamic force in rock music. They've generated over one BILLION streams, topped the Billboard Charts and have sold-out arenas and amphitheaters all over the world. Their surprise eighth studio album "Into The Mystery" was their 5th No. 1 album and now NEEDTOBREATHE’s 9th Studio album “Caves", their most ambitious yet has just been released to critical acclaim. NEEDTOBREATHE's 'Caves World Tour' with Judah &amp; The Lion kicked off in Savannah, GA this month and they’ll be back in Braves Country November 15-18 with stops in Nashville, Birmingham, Greensboro, and Saturday November 18th at Gas South Arena here in Atlanta, Georgia! NEEDTOBREATHE has been called Southern Rock, Christian Rock, Country, and Alternative - but really they’re just an American Rock band from South Carolina, Braves Country U.S.A. And we heard that Josh Lovelace of NEEDTOBREATHE is a true fan of the Atlanta Braves and wanted to talk about baseball, music, and life with us… so we’re honored to talk with him today… Josh Lovelace of NEEDTOBREATHE - Welcome to Braves Country!
