Third Day are a Southern Christian rock band from Atlanta, led by their lead singer and guitarist Mac Powell and another guitarist Mark Lee. The band played classic dramatic rock music, a sound that was able to appeal and cross over to people who didn’t usually listen to Christian Rock.
The band sold over 7 million albums in the US and achieved 28 Number One Christian album chart radio hits. Their second album Conspiracy No.5, their third album Time and their fourth album Offerings were all Grammy nominated releases in the Best Rock Gospel album category. Their next album Come Together actually won the Grammy for the Best Rock Gospel Album as did their 2004 release Wire.
In the spirit of bands like U2, the band played rousing and spiritual material. Stand out songs for the band include Soul On Fire, Your Words, Cry Out To Jesus and I Need A Miracle.
