Over the years Mark Carman has written, produced, performed, or promoted more than twenty-two hundred works of recorded music. His various music and industry talents have been sought and utilized by some of the biggest names in the entertainments business including; Alabama, George Jones, Billy Walker, Rebecca Holden, Shenandoah, Heartland, Billy Joe Royal, Walt Disney World, CashBox Magazine, The Nashville Network, and a long list of others. For decades Mark has stayed in the background and worked behind the scenes applying his experience, talent, and industry knowledge to the benefit of scores of entertainment artist, corporations, and record companies. Finally, after all these years, Mark has decided to step into the limelight and share his talent with the world.
Mark Carman is a brilliant composer and lyricist, a superb musician, an exceptional vocalist and a skillful, polished performer. he delivers a song with the emotion and feeling that only the author could. He has a God-given ability to paint a picture with song and draw the listener in so that the message comes across as if it were being experienced first hand.
Although the majority of Mark's career has been spent working in secular music, his roots are in Southern Gospel. As the son of a Baptist minister he grew up like so many other great artists, singing in church. At the age of ten he began playing piano and within a matter of only a few weeks was playing at a remarkably high skill level. By age fourteen he was playing piano on recording sessions and appearing live with some of the most prolific Christian artists of the twentieth century.
After spending nearly three decades working in country music Mark made the decision to retire. After only a very short while, he began to feel a bit of emptiness as if something were left undone. Looking back at all of his accomplishments, there remained what he calls a Yeah-But. In other words, Yeah, I've done many great things in my life, But..... One afternoon in the summer of 2007, while riding on a golf cart with a friend, he became overwhelmed with the notion that we Christians are the wretch that was saved by Amazing Grace. That simple thought led to his composition of the song bares the title and delivers that profound message in a uniquely truthful and personal way. I'm A Wretch, That's been saved by Amazing Grace.
Mark recognized that the emptiness he was feeling was actually the call of God compelling him to give back some that with which he had been so richly blessed. Well, so much for retirement, God had something entirely different in mind. After having appeared on numerous Top-40 recordings as a singer, scores as a writer, and hundreds as a producer/musician, in the fall of 2007 Mark began working on is very first solo recording project.
For better or worse, here it is.... The Gospel According Mark.

<br />Jesus is alive !
<br />"And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him:lo,I have told you."
<br />Matthew 28:5-7
