Chris Sligh, a top ten finalist on the hit TV series AMERICAN IDOL, will be headlining a concert at Eagle’s Nest Fellowship Church near Milton on Saturday night, November 15th. The concert is sponsored by 88.7, WKNZ, a new Christian radio station coming to Delaware in March of 2009.
Sligh’s vocal skills and humor, combined with his unique presentation style and curly hair, earned him rave reviews and made him a memorable contestant during the 2006 AMERICAN IDOL competition. His performance of “Kiss from a Rose” by Seal earned him a standing ovation from Paula Abdul during his audition, and he famously told the judges he had tried out for the show to ‘make David Hasselhoff cry”, a reference to the previous season’s finale which showed Hasselhoff in the audience wiping a tear.
Since leaving the show, Sligh has written and recorded a new Christian CD “Running Back to You” produced by Brown Bannister (Amy Grant, Third Day) and his first single “Empty Me” has rocketed to the Top Ten on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs Charts.
The son of missionaries to Germany, Sligh attended college in the United States, and has studied acting . He has also served as worship leader at Seacoast Church in Greenville, SC.
Tickets are $10, and available online at "http://www.wknz.org" or at Weller’s Utility Trailer’s in Bridgeville. Seating is general admission. The concert begins at 7pm with doors opening at 6pm.
