ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Four-time Grammy Award winners, Third Day, headline the 2015 edition of SPIRIT FEST. Formed in 1991 in Georgia, the band found success with a pair of late '90s albums - Conspiracy No. 5 (1997) and Time (1999). The band's lineup has remained unchanged since 1992 with Mac Powell (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Mark Lee (electric guitar), and David Carr (drums). Third Day released its 12th studio album, Lead Us Back: Songs of Worship, in March.

After 16 years as the lead singer of David Crowder Band, the band's namesake began a solo career in 2013, releasing Neon Steeple the following year. David Crowder, who performs under just his surname, saw his first solo single, "I Am," peak at No. 3 on the Christian Songs chart, published by Billboard.

Nashville-based Matt Maher released his eighth studio album, Saints and Sinners, in March and it peaked at No. 2 on the US Christian chart. He won a 2015 Dove Award for Songwriter of the Year.

Brandon Heath has seen two songs reach the top spot on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart - 2007's "I'm Not Who I Was" and 2008's "Give Me Your Eyes." The latter song received four nominations at that year's Gospel Music Association's Dove Awards, while he earned three 2012 Grammy nominations for his album Leaving Eden and single "Your Love."

The third-place finisher on the eighth season of American Idol, Danny Gokey started his career in country music and was one of the opening acts on Taylor Swifts Speak Now World Tour in 2011-12. After leaving RCA Nashville he released an EP, Love Again, in 2012 and an album, Hope in Front of Me, in 2014.
