Southeast Missouri – Before the Christian band Third Day hits the road again in the spring to launch The Miracle Tour you will have the opportunity to see them right here in Southeast Missouri. They are a great group of gentlemen from Atlanta, Georgia and there is no denying the power of music.
Cape First Church in Cape Girardeau, Missouri has a concert scheduled, you do not want to miss. Third Day will be performing their hits from The Miracle Tour on Wednesday, January 16, 2013. The concert will begin at 7 pm; however the doors will open at 6 pm.
Featuring “American Idol” finalist Colton Dixon and Josh Wilson a singer-songwriter, they will tour mostly major cities like Memphis, Dallas, Atlanta, Nashville, and Chicago before wrapping up their tour in May.
Their latest album, Miracle is full of life-affirming lyrics based on their faith and is their 12th album. The album’s title track and first radio single, was inspired by a conversation the band had with a couple from New Jersey after a concert. “Their son was in a really depressed place in his life. He drove into the woods to commit suicide and he turned on the radio. The boy heard “Cry Out to Jesus” and it literally change his heart and gave him encouragement to keep going. Lead vocalist Mac Powell took the essence of that story and penned the song, “I Need a Miracle”.
“Music can truly spark a miracle, you just have to listen and believe,” states Powell.
