Newsboys with Special Guest Les Carlson (The voice of Bloodgood) Performing at BMI Event Center in Versailles on January 20, 2024
The Newsboys have been prominent in the Christian rock scene since they began performing in the 1980s. They have numerous Grammy nominations and Dove awards, and in addition to performing, the band has appeared in the each of “God’s Not Dead” franchise films.
Since 2019, the band includes lead vocalist Michael Tait (formerly of DC Talk), drummer and percussionist Duncan Phillips, keyboardist and bassist Jeff Frankenstein, and guitarist Jody Davis.
Les Carlsen was formerly the lead singer of Christian rock band Bloodgood. Bloodgood was one of the earliest Christian heavy metal bands. They toured in the US under very difficult circumstances, blazing a trail that had not been traveled. They faced extreme opposition from both the world and the church, a story best told in the documentary film Trenches of Rock, produced and directed by Paul Michael Bloodgood. Les Carlsen will be performing his new originals and Bloodgood classics with a full band.
