Editor's note

Mac Powell, the voice of Third Day

The Atlanta singer whose rock-gospel blend defined a generation of Christian music.

For a sense of his range, listen to 'Carolina' and 'When Love Sees You (Jesus)'. They show the grounded, storytelling side and the more direct worship mode.

Powell's voice anchored Third Day for nearly three decades, giving shape to songs that became part of the fabric of contemporary worship. Tracks like 'New Creation' from 1998 turned personal faith into communal anthems. He helped bridge Southern rock and modern church music from a base in Atlanta.

He co-founded Third Day in 1991 with Mark Lee and Tai Anderson. Their debut 'Contagious' came out in 1995, and the band's mix of rock and worship carried through the next two decades.

Archive material and source history

Mac Powell is best known as the lead vocalist for Third Day, a band he co-founded in 1991 with guitarist Mark Lee and bassist Tai Anderson. They came out of Atlanta, Georgia, where Powell grew up listening to classic rock and gospel. Their debut album 'Contagious' arrived in 1995.

Third Day's sound mixed rock and worship elements, with Powell's voice at the front. The song 'New Creation' from 1998 became particularly well-known, touching on themes of faith and change. Other tracks like '1991' and 'Carolina' also show up in his catalog.

Powell's career hasn't been without friction. In 2010, remarks he made about homosexuality drew criticism, though he later tried to clarify his position. He remains primarily associated with Third Day's body of work.
