Divine And Dirty

**Kris Barras** isn't one to shy away from a challenge. As a former Mixed Martial Artist, the singer and guitarist has fought in front of 8000 people, lived it up in Las Vegas, dealt with bankruptcy, suffered a deep and personal loss, unleashed southern-fried blues fury on stages across Europe and been voted one of the best 13 Blues Guitarists in the World Right Now in 2017. That drive is at the heart of new album, that shows a breadth of influences that stretches back to *Led Zeppelin, the Stones, Howlin' Wolf* and *Free*. But there's a modern energy to it as well that places **Kris Barras** in a similar mould to current heavyweights such as *Rival Sons, Black Stone Cherry* and *The Cadillac Three*.
