(Nashville, Tenn.) July 29, 2008 – Multi-million selling rock band Third Day will perform its latest hit, “Call My Name,” on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” this evening (7/29). The track is the lead single from the band’s tenth studio album, Revelation, which was released today by Essential Records, a division of Sony BMG Music Entertainment. “Call My Name” is Third Day’s fastest-rising single ever, climbing to No. 1 in a few short weeks to become the band’s 25th chart-topping hit.

Recorded with producer Howard Benson (Daughtry, P.O.D., Flyleaf, Hoobastank) in Los Angeles, Revelation is the follow-up to Third Day’s Wherever You Are, which debuted at No. 8 on The Billboard 200 chart in 2005 and went on to become the band’s third consecutive studio album to win a GRAMMY award. Guest artists on Revelation include Chris Daughtry, Flyleaf’s Lacey Mosely and pedal steel guitar wizard Robert Randolph.

Third Day, which was recently the subject of a Billboard cover story,will play a series of U.S. festivals before teaming up with Switchfoot, Robert Randolph & the Family Band and Jars of Clay for the “Music Builds” tour. Habitat for Humanity affiliates located in tour cities will be the beneficiaries of a portion of the funds raised during the “Music Builds” tour, through a multi-platform program run by Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity and Live Nation, in conjunction with the artists.
