Christian Carson is a well established star on the Jersey Rock scene. The frontman of Common Wealth, he has thoroughly rocked the area, opening for many national touring acts along the way. While his band continues to serve as a high octane staple of New Jersey music, Carson has now ventured into the realm of solo work.
Christian Carson's debut solo album "Vice Versa" is available now. A collection of original tracks and killer covers, it perfectly captures his talent a versatility. It also boasts an all-star lineup of contributors. Carson began work on the album with Mike Orlando of Adrenaline Mob. When Orlando, had to leave the project to go out on tour, guitar hero Ron Bumblefoot Thal stepped in. From there Christian Carson enlisted JD from Black Label Society to lay down some bass work for a track. Paris Beirk added his talent on drums. The result is a solid effort, greater than the sum of its parts and perhaps the best thing Christian Carson has produced to date.
Christian Carson is planning a string of solo shows with Paris Beirk in the new year. Stay on top of announcements on Facebook and Instagram.
Tune to Jersey Rock on 95.9 The Rat Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night at 11:30 pm to hear selections from "Vice Versa." Christian Carson will call in to the show each night!
