Phil Collins, Brandon Flowers, Fergie and Sting have all tried it, some being more successful than others.

Acclaimed musician Bear Rinehart from NEEDTOBREATHE felt that need (to breathe) and created Wilder Woods. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

This passion project as Rinehart explained, during his recent performance in Dallas, allowed him to write very personal songs about his family that would feel awkward in a traditional band scenario. “Mary, You’re Wrong” is a heartfelt tribute of devotion and love to his wife and “Someday Soon” is a coming of age song about the things he wished to tell his younger self and hoped his sons, Wilder and Woods, would learn from.

The disadvantage to going solo is you lose the vast fan base from your original band that allowed you to play arenas and amphitheaters around the world. The advantage is you can play smaller venues and create an intimate and personal experience. That is exactly what Rinehart did at Trees in Dallas, Texas.

To pull off the soul, modern alt-pop, and R&B sounds from the album, Rinehart assembled an extremely talented backing band consisting of Rodrick Cliche – keyboards, JT Rollerson – drums, Vontá E-NuF – bass, Antwuan Gantt – guitar and Scott Mills – guitar. They provided a collective groove that not only set the stage for Rinehart’s performance, which was engaging and entertaining, but also electrified the sold-out crowd.

To the delight of the fans, Rinehart played every song off his debut album and told stories about the origins and meanings behind them. He also played an incredibly soulful version of Gnarls Barkley’s ‘Crazy’, which was remarkable. And while he said he was never a dancer and preferred to hang in wings, his version of Sly & the Family Stone’s “Dance to the Music” proved he has moves and fired up the crowd to do the same.

Bear Rinehart certainly knows how to craft a great song but also knows how to bring those songs to life on the stage. This was not a, “Hey I’ve got a new album and I’m touring to promote it tour” type of show. These songs are very personal to him and the fact that he wants to share them is wonderful. For those who attended the show, they left with delightful memories of seeing something truly special.

Is Rinehart the next Sting? Hard to say but having attended multiple Sting concerts, the feeling you get leaving the show certainly had its emotional parallels.
