Review:
I have been a NEEDTOBREATHE fan since high school. I have seen them play sold out shows at Red Rocks a few times. I saw them with OneRepublic at Xfinity center. And I most recently saw them play at MGM. I learned recently that Bear had a side project and I am so glad I went to go see them play.
But first off, I must correct myself. Wilder Woods is far from a side project. It is a full forced music entity. Bear just released his 3rd album, Curioso, and is currently on the road touring it. He has a full band on stage comprised of a lead guitarist, keyboardist, drummer, bassist, guitarist/percussionist, and a fantastic back-up singer. The whole band is incredibly talented. I felt like I was watching a band that was being inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame.
Bear is a great storyteller. And he is a naturally funny guy. He is an all around great performer. He played lead and rhythm guitar, harmonica, and even just took the mic for a few songs. The band played a 17-song setlist, playing for over an hour and a half. Bear walked through the crowd, sang along with the crowd, and performed a few stripped down songs with his lead guitarist and backup singer.
I can’t wait to see Widler Woods every time they come to town. I have listened to all three albums by now but I can’t wait to listen to them even more. And discover other music of his not from the albums.
I can’t recommend seeing them enough. It was one of the best concerts I have been too in a while.
