Train Has a Need... A NEEDTOBREATHE

Among my many interviews during GMA Music Week in Nashville, Tenn., I was delighted to have lunch with four great guys known as NEEDTOBREATHE. I enjoyed their debut album and figured this would be a band that we would hear good things from.

However, I knew we had more than just another CCM band when I heard them on the radio one day on my way home from the mall -- not just Christian radio but mainstream radio.

Ladies and gents, we have another crossover.

Coming soon, NEEDTOBREATHE will flex their skills for a much larger audience on tour with Train. The band that brought us "Drops of Jupiter" and "Meet Virginia" will play several dates with NEEDTOBREATHE this May.

Check to see if they're coming to your town... and tell me how it goes.
