Tim & Faith Hold 'Bread & Water' Show After Sold-Out Concert In LA

NASHVILLE, TN (Tim McGraw Fans Website) - After Tim McGraw and Faith Hill performed a sold-out 'Soul2Soul II' show to over 16,000 fans at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Friday night and honored their one millionth fan to go through turnstiles on the tour, the couple hosted a 'Bread & Water' show at the Whisky on Sunset.

The club was filled with a standing room only crowd at 12:30am as McGraw kicked off the show before the band and crew were even ready. He grabbed a guitar and broke into several country classics. In the next hours songs performed varied from covers to new music from McGraw's next studio album. Among them, Tom Petty's 'Breakdown,' 'Sweet Home Alabama,' 'Suspicious Minds' and new tune 'The River and Me.' Hill performed Aretha Franklin's 'Think' and 'Bridge Over Troubled Water.' Soon thereafter Reba McEntire joined Hill on stage for the Everly Brothers classic 'When Will I Be Loved' and 'Does He Love You' with McGraw sandwiched between them. McEntire offered Hill her first major tour opportunity when she was just breaking as a new artist.

Both Hill and McGraw's bands participated and they were joined by Hollywood heavy weight Walter Parks on electric guitar.

McGraw has hosted other 'Bread & Water' shows during previous tours, but Friday night's performance was its first in 3 years. 'Bread & Water' shows are rare, small-club performances that allow McGraw, Hill and band to perform material of their own choosing, mostly cover songs from the 70's and 80's along with country classics. These intimate concerts are announced the morning of the 'Bread & Water' via radio, print and or the internet.

Proceeds from this 'Bread & Water' show will benefit the Neighbors Keeper Foundation for Katrina related efforts.
