New York City-based Need is the brainchild of Connecticut-native vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Rob Kurfehs. A prolific songwriter, Rob started writing Need's debut album at the precocious age of 15. Along with the help Broadway drummer and composer John Clancy, David Shuman, and Rob Burger (Norah Jones, Tin Hat Trio), Need's debut masterpiece has come to fruition. Jumping from style to style, but always with a coherent style that is uniquely Need, Fade-In showcases Need's diverse musical influences and unique sound. Complex arrangements and rich production beguile the album's indie roots: the project was 100% independently funded from 2003-2006.
