Posted by Kevan Breitinger Feb 21, 2007

The Atlanta-based rock band was also recognized for its smash hit “Cry Out to Jesus,” written by lead singer Mac Powell, with a nomination in the Song of the Year category. In the newly added Dove category of Christmas Album, Third Day was acknowledged with a nod for Christmas Offerings, its very first Christmas worship album.

Band members Mac Powell, Tai Anderson, Brad Avery, David Carr, and Mark Lee each receive nominations as artists and producers on the Christmas project. Adding in his nod for writing “Cry Out to Jesus,” Mac Powell receives four total nominations, with each of the other band members individually receiving three.

The band is fresh off its third GRAMMY win for the RIAA Gold certified Wherever You Are (11/1/05) in the Pop Contemporary Gospel Album category. From its seven previous nods, the band has been awarded GRAMMYs for both Wire (5/4/2004) and Come Together (10/17/01), each RIAA Certified Gold.

2007 finds Third Day releasing two milestone projects, Chronology, Volume One (1996-2000) which drops March 27, followed by Chronology, Volume Two which hits retail, August 7.
