[Congrats to Marlene K., our Day 8 ticket winner!]

And here we are at Day 8 of the 12 Days of Christmas giveaway.

Mac Powell of Third Day is one of the nicest, most genuine guys I’ve ever interviewed and it really is a pleasure whenever our paths have a reason to cross.

A couple of years ago he released a self-titled country solo album and in October he dropped his second, “Southpaw.”

Powell will perform at Eddie’s Attic at 8 p.m. Jan. 14 and the good folks at the venue have provided a pair of tickets for the 12 Days of Christmas.

There are no prerequisites to win, but if you use  Facebook  and/or  Twitter , I would greatly appreciate a follow.

Also, it is imperative that you follow the guidelines about submitting your entries and the time frame in which to do so.

To enter to win, just zip me an email at mruggieri@ajc.com – please put Day 8 in the subject field – by 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 22. Seriously, if you put anything other than Day 8 in the subject field, it won't be entered when I sort the emails and you will have zero chance of winning. I will randomly select a winner and post the name on that day's blog entry once I've received confirmation. If you are the winner, I will contact you directly.

Tickets for the show start at $15. For more information or to purchase, click here .

Good luck!
