COLUMBIA, Mo. -- War. Floods. Devastation. Paranoia. Political upheaval. Through it all, there is hope.

These are the words from Christian rock/pop band, Third Day. Its mission: to convey the hope and salvation in the eternity of Christ through their music. It is our pleasure to announce Third Day performing live at the Amphitheater at Mizzou on Friday, June 22, 2007 at 7:30 p.m.

Over the past decade, Third Day has amassed 24 No.1 radio singles and sold nearly six million albums with RIAA certifications including one Platinum record, one Platinum DVD, and six Gold records. The band has garnered 24 career Dove Awards, two GRAMMY Awards (from seven previous nominations), two consecutive American Music Award nods, multiple ASCAP honors, and has developed an historic partnership with Chevrolet. Third Day has maintained a touring record second-to-none by playing for audiences reaching into the millions. The band is most proud of its humanitarian efforts that include raising nearly $200,000 for the victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita and encouraging over 15,000 fans to sponsor children across the globe through the work of World Vision.

Third Day's newest release, Chronology, Volume One, is a compilation of its greatest hits from 1996 - 2000. ChristianMusicToday.com says Chronology sounds like "Third Day's less flashy Southern rock years, influenced by the likes of The Black Crowes and Hootie & The Blowfish, plus some adult contemporary pop and worship."

Don't miss Third Day at the Amphitheater at Mizzou on Friday, June 22nd! Also performing live is local band, The Follow, whose music has been described by Go! Magazine - Columbia, MO, "The band blends guitar hooks, rock grooves, hints of electronica and spiritual undertones to create a sound that's been embraced by a host of commercial rock radio stations. That sounds reflects the band's influences, which range from U2 and Coldplay to Tears for Fears and Peter Gabriel."
