A tight-knit appearance, muscles like steel, a lush beard and large tattoos on the body: Kris Barras looks like an enormously hard dog at first glance - and that's exactly what he is. Until a few years ago, the 32-year-old Briton earned his bread rolls mainly as a mixed-martial arts professional. With this spectacular full contact sport, in which the fighters violently beat their opponents in the ring with blows and kicks, among other things. In 2014, he abandoned his career as an athlete to dedicate himself to his passion as a guitarist and singer. A passion, which he has been cultivating since his teenage days, and which - if everything goes according to plan - will have a major impact on his life in the future. Last year, Karras and his band got a lot of impetus when they made their first major European tour with very successful club and festival appearances in Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and at home in England. What followed was a record contract offer from the Mascot Label Group, under whose umbrella Kris Barras is now at home together with big names such as Joe Bonamassa, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jonny Lang, Walter Trout, Eric Gales and Sonny Landreth. The new album "The Divine And Dirty" is now released on Provogue by Mascot. Songs like "I Don't Owe Nobody Nothing","Propane" and "She's More Than Enough" show the range of influences that reach back to Led Zeppelin, The Stones, Howlin' Wolf and Free. But there is also a modern energy behind it, which puts Kris Barras in a similar form to current blues heavyweights like Rival Sons, Black Stone Cherry and The Cadillac Three.
