(Nashville, Tenn.) November 24, 2008 – Receiving its third AMA nomination early last month, Atlanta based rock band,
Third Day, celebrated its first American Music Award win tonight in the “Favorite
Artist in the Contemporary Inspirational” category.
Due to a non-stop touring schedule, band members were unable to attend the awards show which aired on ABC, live from the NOKIA Theater in Los Angeles.
Following a sold-out show last night in Clinton, MS lead singer Mac Powell shared from stage, “What an unbelievable honor to win an award in a category with such great friends. This is our first AMA win and it means so much to us because it’s voted on by fans and we’re certain we have the best fans anyone could ever ask for. Thank you for this tremendous honor.”
