History
Paul Colman had started his music career as a solo artist, releasing two albums in the late 1990s. His trio, pc3, was formed in Melbourne in 1998 with Coman joined by Phil Gaudion on drums and vocals, and Grant Norsworthy on bass guitar and vocals. They issued two studio albums and two live albums, before breaking into the United States market with pc3 – Live Acoustic album in 2001. The group relocated to Memphis and performed at contemporary Christian music festivals. Norsworthy described the US scene, "it's bigger than the entire Australian music scene over there in America, and there's amazing infrastructure – radio stations, TV stations, magazines totally dedicated to Christian music."
Paul Colman Trio issued two more studio albums, including New Map of the World in 2002. This received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album. Colman told Mick Bunworth of The 7.30 Report that he wrote lyrics "set against the backdrop of a faith, of the fact that God made the universe." The trio undertook international tours before disbanding in February 2004 as they would be "taking a break as a recording/performing band", citing "financial and family considerations" as primary reasons.
In April 2009 Paul Colman Trio re-formed after a five-year break for a reunion show at Easterfest in Toowoomba. Early in January 2011 pc3 spent a week in Nashville and recorded a new album, Return, which was released in April that year. They supported the release with a national tour.
