THE MULTIPLE GRAMMY©, AMERICAN MUSIC AWARD
& DOVE AWARD WINNING BAND TO CELEBRATE
THE LAUNCH OF THEIR NEW ALBUM ON MARCH 3 WITH A SPECIAL LIVE PERFORMANCE AT THE FAMED BEACON THEATRE IN NEW YORK
Nashville, Tenn. (October 30, 2014)—THIRD DAY, for the first time in more than a decade, will release a new worship album, titled
LEAD US BACK, slated for March 3, 2015. The GRAMMY©,
American Music Awards and Dove Award winning band, that has had 12
career albums to date, will also perform live on the day of the
album release, at the famed Beacon Theatre in New York. The highly
anticipated
LEAD US BACK album is the third worship recording that the
multi-Platinum rock band will have released since the group made their
mark on the music industry in 1996 with their self-titled debut smash on
Reunion Records, which was certified Gold by
the RIAA. It will also include a deluxe version, with an additional
disc of 10 fan favorites from
THIRD DAY, captured LIVE ON THE ROAD from their previous sold-out tour performances.
Says
vocalist Mac Powell, "We've wanted to do a worship album for quite a
while but have been waiting for the right time. NOW is that time! I
believe this is the best batch of songs that we have ever recorded!”
Bass player Tai Anderson
adds, “’Lead Us Back' is a call to worship not just for our audience
but the band as well. Why now? We're ready for these songs. We're ready
to feel God's spirit fall afresh on all of us again.”
The group’s previous worship albums,
OFFERINGS – A Worship Album in 2000 and OFFERINGS II – ALL I HAVE TO GIVE in 2003, have been the two biggest selling albums of the band’s career to date. “I think the essence of
THIRD DAY music,” says drummer David Carr, “has always had
a thread of worship to it, whether we’ve classified an album as worship
or not. Though we are confident in the direction we took on previous
albums, we felt it was time for us to revisit
the emotion and heart that comes through when the songs are unabashedly
directed to God.”
THIRD DAY,
comprised of members Mac Powell, Tai Anderson, David Carr and Mark Lee,
during the last two decades, has racked up 30 No. 1 radio singles. The
band has sold more than
eight million albums, including two RIAA 2x Multi Platinum, five Platinum and 12 Gold certifications. A Georgia Music Hall of Fame inductee (2009),
THIRD DAY has garnered four GRAMMY©
Awards (with 11 career nominations), an American Music Award (with four
American
Music Award nominations), multiple ASCAP honors (including its coveted
Vanguard Award for songwriting), and 24 career GMA Dove Awards (from 42
nominations).
Long known as Christian music’s premier live band, the Atlanta-based
THIRD DAY has performed
for audiences reaching into the millions all around the world. The
group has been featured on “The Tonight Show,” “The Late Late Show with
Craig Ferguson,”
“60 Minutes,” ABC’s “Nightline,” and written about in USA Today, the
New York Times and
Billboard magazine – a cover story which called
THIRD DAY “one of the best rock bands, period.”
Tickets
for the March 3 Beacon Theatre performance go on sale November 21. The
band will also embark on a 2015 worldwide tour in support of
LEAD US BACK – dates to be announced.
