With a reputation for performing some of Christian music’s most electrifying live shows, Third Day began like many bands do, by drumming up local support. After winning over crowds in its native Atlanta, Third Day eventually signed with Reunion Records and released its self-titled debut in 1996.
After the group’s successful introduction to the masses, Third Day didn’t wait long to record its second album, Conspiracy No. 5. A slight stylistic departure from the more rootsy strains of its predecessor, Third Day earned a Grammy nomination and its first Dove Award for “Rock Album of the Year” and “Rock Song of the Year” for the album’s standout single “Alien.”
Seamlessly transitioning between the pop, rock and worship genres, Offerings: A Worship Album followed in 2000. Recorded for the band’s devoted fan base known as “Gomers,” the album was in response to the powerful praise & worship sets happening during Third Day’s concerts.
Comprised of frontman Mac Powell, bassist Tai Anderson, guitarist Mark Lee and drummer David Carr, Third Day has now served up guitar-fueled anthems with a distinctly Southern flavor for more than a decade.
Focusing on all aspects of the believer’s journey in their relevant, hope-filled lyrics, Third Day’s 13th effort, Revelation, showcased the band’s community spirit by featuring a slew of guest appearances from Flyleaf’s Lacey Mosley, American Idol alum Chris Daughtry and guitar prodigy Robert Randolph. The album featured powerful songs including "Born Again" and the title track "Revelation" that touched the hearts of all audiences.
Third Day released its newest album, Move, in October of 2010 featuring the singles "Lift Up Your Face" and "Children of God." The band will also be embarking on its "Make Your Move" tour in the spring of 2011 continuing its collaborative spirit with fellow bands Tenth Avenue North and Revive.
