By BREATHEcast.com, Wednesday, March 20, 2013

Josh Wilson, who is busy out on tour with Third Day, spoke to Breathecast today. Below is an edited transcript of the interview:

Breathecast: How is the Third Day tour going for you?

Wilson: Those guys are great. It's just been so fun hanging out with them and Colton. We are about a month in and going through May so it's about a third over.

Breathecast: What have you learned from being on tour with a veteran band like Third Day?

Wilson: One thing I've learned is that they are the real deal. You kinda hope that they are gonna be awesome when you meet them, and they are, and I think that is part of the reason they have hung around so long. They are just so down to earth and nice and like I said they have great music, but I think its more than that. You have to have a love for people and the Lord and what you do. I hope to learn more from them as the tour goes on and I hope to learn how to grow a beard like Mac Powell someday.

Breathecast: How has the connection between bands been on tour?

Wilson: They (Third Day) do a great job of being really inclusive. They have their own bus and I'm on a bus with Colton, but they will text us and say "Hey we are going to lunch or we are going to the movies," which is something they don't have to do, they have been very intentional. We have a road pastor and do church together on Sundays where we get together and talk and just hang out, it's been great.

Breathecast: Did you know Colton Dixon before this tour?

Wilson: Actually I met him the first night we got on the bus. He's a super nice guy and it's been great to hang out with him. He's very talented, we are both video game nerds.
