Background

Four years after the release of their last full-length studio album, Hard Love , and following some speculation by fans of the band, Needtobreathe announced the exit of band member Nathaniel "Bo" Rinehart on April 21, 2020. [7] Soon after, the band released two singles, "Hang On" and "Seasons" on April 30, and announced the release of Out of Body later in the year. [8] "Survival", featuring Drew & Ellie Holcomb, was released on June 11, [9] and "Who Am I" was released on June 25. [10] The final single, "Banks", was released on July 30. [11]

Promotion

The band hosted a ticketed livestream concert entitled "Celebrating Out of Body" on the day of the album's release, August 28, 2020. [12] The band performed a series of two more ticketed interactive livestream concerts, entitled "All Dressed Up & Nowhere To Go" from their rehearsal space on January 21 and 22, 2021. [13] As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the band was unable to tour Out of Body, however they performed three socially-distanced concerts at The Caverns in Pelham, Tennessee on March 12, 13 and 14, 2021. They later released Live From the Woods Vol. 2, composed of tracks recorded live at these shows. [14]
