“The story of Jesus is not only told on Christmas morning but it is also told from the beginning of time. From Genesis to Revelation we read about how God’s Spirit spoke through the prophets and His Word to set up the greatest story ever told,” shares Mac Powell about the inspiration about his new song. “A fun fact is I was born on Christmas day, so I have always loved Christmas, the month of December, and that God sent his Son to earth for all people.”

This holiday song follows the recent release of Powell’s CCM solo debut, New Creation, which received more than one million global streams and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. His debut radio single from the album, “River of Life,” is currently in the Top 15 AC Monitored chart.

Celebrating the holiday season, Powell will join the KLOVE Christmas Tour with Casting Crowns, CAIN, Dante Bowe, and Jordan St. Cyr. Check out his website www.macpowell.com for updated dates and ticket information.

This project was created after he took time following the Third Day farewell tour to tap into being an independent artist after decades of being a frontman of a band. Being part of such an iconic group in the CCM genre for so many years, Powell is excited to reconnect with radio and fans on the road with these new songs. He shares, “I believe this collection of songs have come from God, and I can’t wait to hear the stories of how they connect with and help people through the days we’re living in.”

New Creation is produced by Jonathan Smith, Hank Bentley, Jeff Pardo, Seth Mosely, Colby Wedgeworth, and Ed Cash. The album features song co-writers Ethan Hulse, Jonathan Smith, Jeff Pardo, Brenton Brown, Hank Bentley, Matt Maher, Seth Mosely, Benji Cowart, Casey Beathard, and Tommy Iceland.

Powell has been connecting with fans throughout the pandemic through various tours such as drive-in movie theater shows and now with his good friend Steven Curtis Chapman this fall. He will also be heading out this holiday season on the KLOVE Christmas Tour with Casting Crowns, CAIN, Dante Bowe and Jordan St. Cyr. Check out his website – www.macpowell.com for updated dates and ticket information.

Mac Powell, former frontman of the four-time GRAMMY Award-winning band Third Day, has released his new song, “River of Life,” available today. This song is from his forthcoming solo album, which will be on his new label Capitol Christian Music Group. This upbeat anthem is the perfect song as summer begins.

“It’s interesting that within the medical community the bloodstream is called the ‘River of Life,’” shares Mac Powell. “We as believers know that our TRUE life comes from the grace and mercy of Jesus – poured out from his sacrifice on the cross. In John chapter 4, Jesus shares with the woman at the well – Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. Let us all partake in this River of Life that is given by our Savior!”

Powell’s vocal prowess is known all over the world from his years with Third Day. He brings his decades of experience and soulful delivery of heartful and relatable lyrics to this new song and upcoming album.

During the last year, Powell continued to share his music safely with fans as part of the Drive-In Theatre tours with Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith and this spring with Zach Williams and newcomers CAIN. He’s been performing the new song on tour to a rave reaction from the concertgoers.
