Mac Powell of Third Day is releasing his first solo project August 21! The album is of course Country. :) He allowed his first single for download on ITunes via twitter. The song is titled "June Bug". Mac Powell stresses that he will continue with Third Day. The band is actually coming out with a new new album next year. Mac Powell describes this album like this: " There have been so many times in the past that I had a song idea that really didn't fit lyrically or musically with Third Day," Powell wrote on his blog. "I filed those songs away to the 'maybe someday' category. Well, that time is now."

Sadly, Superchic[k] will not be performing at Lifest this year. Here is what they have to say: "Following the announcement of their cancelled appearance at Lifest, the band Superchick, sent us this letter to share with you. They are one class act. Please keep them in prayer...   Dear Lifest,   We are incredibly sorry to not be joining you this year.  We've done lots of shows over the years but the first Lifest is one of my life's touchstones.  It was our first real show and despite no one knowing who we were and a last minute schedule change that wasn't in the program, thousands of you came and showed us what was possible for a little band from IL.  Matt's mother told me that after that show, Matt and Ben walked around with a grin on their face for an entire week.  For us that show was the beginning of an incredible journey and we were privileged to have you there.    Sadly this year, instead of joining you we are going to have to ask you for your prayers....

Today though they are trying to see if she can breathe on her own. Please pray for Lily and her family!
