Former dc Talk singer Toby McKeehan -- TobyMac for short -- received a Grammy nomination for his latest solo release, the live CD/DVD "Alive and Transported." Now he's on tour with the Christian-music roadshow Winter Jam. TobyMac, 44, gave us a ring before a show in Tallahassee, Fla.
Q: Does the tour have anything to offer to concertgoers of different faiths or those who aren't religious?
A: My portion of Winter Jam definitely has something for them. I'm definitely not proselytizing. I'm not shoving anything down anybody's throat.

A: It should come out October-November.
I love spending about six to eight weeks on every song, just layering and layering and finding the right sounds, the right vocal arrangements. But I listen to the radio now and I can hear this simplicity. . . . The simplicity of rock radio and pop radio and even hip-hop radio is inspiring to me right now. I would love to go and do that.
Q: Is there any momentum toward a dc Talk reunion?
A: When we're in the same city or at a festival, we usually jump on each other's stage. The thing about dc Talk is, the first thing I want people to know is that the relationships are there, solid. It wasn't like it was a weird sort of parting. We're friends.
The second thing is that we're all enjoying what we're doing. We're all passionate and driven by what we're doing. If we get back together, it'll feel like a reunion, not like a revamping of the career.
I would say a reunion . . . is inevitable. I think we want to do it. It's just a matter of when.
