Third Day - Influenced by the Southern rock of Lynyrd Skynyrd and other artists such as
U2 and Rich Mullins, Third Day was originally formed by vocalist Mac Powell and
acoustic guitarist Mark Lee. The duo added bassist Tai Anderson and drummer
David Carr from another local band, and recorded some demos. Third Day's live
shows gradually built a loyal fan base, and just after lead guitarist Brad Avery
joined, the band signed to Gray Dot Records. Their eponymous debut followed in
1996, with Conspiracy No. 5 appearing a year later. In 1999 Third Day returned
with Time, and the next year Offerings, a collection of new and live material,
came out, followed in 2003 by its companion, Offerings II: All I Have to Give.
That same year, the American Music Awards tapped them with a nomination in the
Favorite Contemporary Inspirational Artist category. For their fifth studio
album, 2004's Wire (which was followed shortly after by Live Wire), Third Day
returned to their rock & roll roots, a trend they kept up for 2005's Top Ten hit
Wherever You Are, which came out in CD/DVD format the next year. ~ John Bush,
