About The Needhams

A decade of making music together has afforded The Needhams the time it takes to hone their sound with both passion and purpose. Audiences across the nation have discovered The Needhams offer a broad spectrum of musicality with three generations on stage. Group members employ their talents in various ways as vocalists or instrumentalists. Original songwriting and unique arrangements of familiar, beloved tunes range from organically acoustic to energetically progressive. Every song, regardless of styling, is crafted with the common basis of pure family harmony and lyrics grounded in the Word of God.

The Needhams’ focus is to present Christ’s love by way of songs with the very personal themes of faith, forgiveness and family. Their current radio single “Give It All to Me” follows the Top 80 charting “Streams of Living Water”. Now, the Needhams have released a brand new CD, What A Difference. Produced by Joel Key, What A Difference is a benchmark project for the group which takes the listener on a journey of encouragement. Fresh songwriting by Diane, Dave and Corina includes such songs as "Middle of a Miracle", "I Am a Nobody", "Come Home to Me", "This Is My Jericho", "Help Me to Forgive", "Standing on the Promises", "I Will Praise You", " Give Me Jesus", "Hardly Wiat for Sunday", "Joy of the Lord", "Speak to Me", "and the title track "What A Difference."

Ten years of touring is a journey which has found The Needhams on stage at places like the Opryland Hotel, the Gibson Bluegrass Showcase, and the Stardust Theatre in Nashville, TN; the main stage of Freedom Hall for the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, KY; Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Festival in Bean Blossom, IN; the IBRA National Finals at the Miller Coliseum, Murfreesboro, TN; Royal Caribbean cruise lines; Steamboat Days, Des Arc, AR; Labor Daze, Oakfield, NY; and much more. They have appeared on television with the likes of Jerry Johnston and First Family Church of Overland Park, KS, and they are scheduled to shoot an upcoming episode of Great American Gospel hosted by Gospel music legend Ed O’Neal, as well as an upcoming appearance on the Total Christian Television network (TCT).

(2002) and Ready to Go (2001).  And with songs like “Pennies From Heaven,” “Walking on the Water,” “One Way or Another,” “Behold the Lamb,” “When the Trumpet Sounds,” “I’m Going Through,” and “He Built a Bridge,” The Needhams continue a tradition of quality music with a strong, heartfelt message.

A rich history of family harmony and their personal faith in Jesus Christ have brought The Needhams to where they are today. Ultimately, it is their goal to glorify God, encourage fellow believers, and share the Gospel.
