In 1995, Third Day felt they needed one more addition to the group to really complete the Third Day sound. The guys had seen Brad play with another singer/songwriter around town named Chris Carter. Everyone was impressed with his playing, gear, and hair. So the guys asked Brad to join the group. Brad was hesitant at first as Third Day still only occaisonally played in tune. At the first rehearsal, Third Day played the song Consuming Fire. Everyone immediately knew that Brad was the right man for the band. Third Day had found its sound. During 1995, Third Day continued to play numerous concerts and even began to play around the southeast. Third Day was starting to get paid more frequently with the help of Jeff Gregg who signed on to be Third Day's booking agent. The band saw concert attendances rise, especially in Atlanta at a venue called the Strand Theatre. The management at The Strand decided to sign Third Day to a new independent record company called Gray Dot Records. In the sping of 1995, Gray Dot Records signed Third Day to a one album deal. They took the tracks from Contagious and added the songs Consuming Fire and Nothing at All. Over 20,000 Gray Dot records were sold which was actually very substantial for an independent record company. Shortly after the album's release, Reunion Records signed Third Day to a multi-album deal which included the masters from the Gray Dot record. The album is no longer in production but is often auctioned for less than $20 on Ebay.
