Christian Carson is known for his work as the leader singer of his high-octane Hard Rock band Common Wealth.  In the pre-pandemic era, the band achieved success opening for big name acts and touring the nation.  As the world begins to open up and live music begins to resume Christian Carson is taking his first steps back into the realm of live, in-person performance.

Christian Carson will perform an acoustic show at Donovan's in Manchester on Saturday 5/15.  It's all ages and admission is free.  The night kicks off at 9:00 pm with a set from Dani Gale.  Christian will perform Rock covers as well as original Common Wealth tunes.   Learn more about the event HERE.
