Third Day began in 1991, when singer Mac Powell and guitarist Mark Lee finished studying at McEachern High School in Powder Springs, Georgia.They had already played together in a garage band called Nuclear Hoedown, but now wanted to form a band where they could express their faith in God.Powell and Lee added a keyboard player named Billy Wilkins, and dedicated their time to write songs and perform around the state of Georgia.Also, during this time, original member, Billy Wilkins, who was working as a school teacher, ended up leaving the band.Furies Studios in Atlanta.The album was finally released in 1994 with 2,000 copies available.In 1995, the band started looking for a second guitarist.The management of the local decided to sign the band to a new independent record label called Gray Dot Records.That same year, the band released the album Third Day, which ended up selling 20,000 copies.Signed by Reunion Records
After being signed by Reunion Records, they immediately released the now official version of Third Day's first album in 1996.The record has sold over 300,000 copies and was received well by critics.That same year, popular band Newsboys asked Third Day to open five of their shows around the West Coast.They also launched their own tour over 65 cities which ended up being a success.All Star United and Seven Day Jesus opened for them.The following year, the band dedicated exclusively to touring around the US, alone and opening for the Newsboys again.They also collaborated on the Dove Award winning project from Michael W.International Success

Billy Wilkins, keyboards.Wilkins was one of the original members of Third Day, from 1991 to 1993, along with Powell and Lee.Barkley (formerly of Geoff Moore and the Distance) played keyboards on every live album in the band's history and every live show for nearly seven years.Barkley also performed on Wherever You Are.Although never officially a member of the band, Brad Avery has described Barkley as '"in the band", but he's not a "member" of Third Day, that's two different things.Barkley's background vocals in songs such as "God of Wonders" and "Took My Place" as well as "You Are So Good To Me" have become integral parts of Third Day's live sound.Barkley finished touring with Third Day on October 21, 2005 in Raleigh, North Carolina.Southern Tracks

Some Fans of the band are collectively called Gomers.Each Gomer chooses a first name, such as Happy Gomer, Mac Gomer etc.No matter how many times Gomer left Hosea, Hosea would always rescue her when she got into trouble.This story is explored in Third Day's song "Gomer's Theme" off the album Conspiracy No.Fans began using the name for themselves on the forums of the Third Day website in 2001, as a way of identifying their human unfaithfulness to God and accepting his "purchase" as Hosea did.When attending Third Day concerts, Gomers wear the color orange, so that the band can see them easily from the stage.In San Diego, California, Third Day's inspirational song "Tunnel" can be heard each Friday at 10:00am on Rock 105.The Mikey Show, Mike Esparza.Christian DJ who turned his life around after coming to grips with addiction and a stay at The Betty Ford Center.He closes the morning drive show out each Friday using the song as a backdrop.Third Day Timeline (1991).Third Day Timeline (1992).Third Day Timeline (1993).Third Day Timeline (1994).Third Day Timeline (1995).Third Day Timeline (1996).Third Day Timeline (1997).Third Day Timeline (1999).Third Day Timeline (2000).Third Day Timeline (2001).Third Day Timeline (2002).Third Day Timeline (2004).Billboard Third Day Chart History.External links

Conspiracy No.David Carr reflects on the band's past, present, and future.Through it all, there is hope.It's certainly its most personal."We have friends who endured divorce and others who have fought financial problems.But at the core of even the darkest moment, there is hope.And it's that nugget of light that forms the very marrow of Wherever You Are."You just reach out; you just cry out to Jesus.""On the last record we tried to reach people's heads," says Powell.There are tears and plenty of what Powell calls the "major catastrophes in our everyday lives."But fighting through the swirling clouds of doubt, there is hope.While the inspiration for tangling with such familiar demons was admittedly a result of the hardships among friends and family of the band, it also came from responding to Third Day fans."It's A Shame" from Wire, an album which guitarist and songwriter Mark Lee says was a "little more lyrically vague overall," Third Day committed to offering up more of that kind of emotionally precise material."We felt a sense in the audience that they wanted that kind of realness from us.We're not pretending we have all the answers, but God is bigger than the problems."Powell says being able to make art out of life's common struggles is a sign that the band is maturing."Life is different now," he points out."Good times or bad," Avery says, "people always need a reason to hope.God has given us this message and I think the time is right for Third Day to deliver it.We're seeing tremendous response to these new songs in our live shows."It's a message that meets you Wherever You Are.The trial issue is yours to keep, regardless.Give Today's Christian as a gift
