Christian singer Carman to perform Sunday in Horseheads
After a life-threatening battle with cancer, contemporary Christian recording artist Carman has returned to the stage and will perform at 6 p.m. Sunday at the Central Assembly of God (1 Brenway Dr. in Horseheads).
He will present a new concept, a “CinemaSonic Experience” that combines a concert, a movie, a play and a crusade. Highlighted will be new music along with tunes from his 40-year catalog such as “The Champion,” “Witches Invitation” and “Who's in the House.”
Carman was diagnosed in February 2013 with multiple myeloma, an incurable cancer of the blood that deteriorates the body’s bones, and he was given less than 18 months of productive life to live.
Carman Domenic Licciardello is a singer, songwriter and television/film actor/writer who has garnered 16 RIAA-certified platinum and gold albums and videos and has sold over 10 million albums. Often described as part evangelist and part Vegas showman, his concerts are like a rock ‘n’ roll Billy Graham Crusade. They combine drama, rock, comedy, funk, satire, acting, singing and preaching, all woven together in a unique style.
The only Christian “stadium act” ever, Carman drew 80,000 outdoors in Charlotte, 50,000 in South Africa, and 71,132 in Texas Stadium (the former home of the Dallas Cowboys). He also held the No. 1 position on the Billboard Christian sales charts for a 33 weeks with his “The Champion” album, staying on the Billboard overall sales charts for a record 168 weeks.
