Fans of acclaimed band Third Day in nearly three dozen cities will get the chance to see their favorite rockers up close where they are, as the band has announced plans for its spring tour in support of their new Essential Records release Wherever You Are. Acclaimed worship band David Crowder*Band will accompany Third Day on this leg of the 2006 tour, scheduled to begin in mid-February.
Fresh off a busy season preparing for the November 1 release of Wherever You Are, Third Day frontman Mac Powell expressed his anticipation for the Atlanta band's return to the road, and his appreciation for his new tour mates. “We are extremely excited about the spring tour with David Crowder Band. They are one of the best 'live' bands that I have ever seen, so I can't wait to perform on the same stage with them,” Powell says. “This is going to be a great night of music, worship and community.”
Powell's counterpart within DC*B concurs. “We couldn't be more excited about hitting the road with Third Day. These guys are the best!” says David Crowder. “What they have done in the industry and the church is inspiring and we're completely honored to be sharing their stage.”
Stretching the musical boundaries of worship music and widely known for his engaging live performance, David Crowder*Band has captured the attention of such significant media as the New York Times, CNN, FOX News and more. Nominated for three GMA Music Awards this year, the path of illumination has been an adventurous one for the band. Following its own headline tours, a major tour with Michael W. Smith and MercyMe and two very successful side recordings, their third national release, A Collision, debuted at No. 39 on Billboard's Top 200 sales chart, No. 2 on iTunes album chart and No. 4 on the overall digital chart. On most Sundays, David Crowder*Band makes it a point to get back to University Baptist Church, a church they helped found on the campus of Baylor University in Waco, TX.

Third Day has amassed 21 #1 radio singles, sales of more than five million albums, 23 Dove Awards, two Grammy Awards, an American Music Award nod, and a performance slot at the 2004 Republican National Convention. They have developed a groundbreaking partnership with Chevrolet and are known world wide for a riveting live show and sold-out tours.
Maintaining a passion for helping those in need, Third Day supports Habitat for Humanity, DATA and World Vision's Hope Child initiative and has been covered by media outlets including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, NBC Nightly News, ABC News Nightline, 60 Minutes, Anderson Cooper 360, CNN Headline News, Hannity & Colmes, Weekend Live with Tony Snow, Your World with Neal Cavuto, The Boston Globe, USA Today, the LA Times and Newsweek.
