Watch Jordan Davis, NEEEDTOBREATHE Team Up On Unforgettable Mashup On Stage

NEEDTOBREATHE and Jordan Davis joined forces on the 2024 CMT Music Awards stage, days after teaming up for a special outdoor taping for an upcoming CMT Crossroads show (the filming took place two days ahead of the awards show at UT Austin). The South Carolina-based Christian rock group and the country star delivered a first-time mashup performance on the Moody Center stage on Sunday evening (April 7). They performed a special version of NEEDTOBREATHE’s “Brother” and Davis’ “Next Thing You Know.”

CMT also rounded up an all-star lineup to perform a tribute to Toby Keith, who died earlier this year following a battle with stomach cancer. He was 62.
