(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).

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.
