The rise of the Kris Barras Band continues with the announcement of their brand new album ‘Light It Up,’ which is to be released on September 13 via Provogue, a month before their biggest UK headline tour to date, followed by a 12 date European tour.

The release follows a whirlwind 18 months since the release of ‘The Divine and Dirty’ in March 2018, where he sold 75 tickets for the London album launch, and only 11 months later returned to play a sold-out show to 500 people at the main room of the Garage, London with an incredible ride to get there.

This journey saw the band go on tour in the UK with Beth Hart, Joanne Shaw Taylor, not to mention shows with GUN, King King, The Magpie Salute, Therapy?, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and a full European tour with Jonny Lang and Walter Trout. Kris even found time to join Supersonic Blues Machine as the new singer-guitarist with the legendary Billy F Gibbons, joining for their debut European tour, playing a host of sold out shows and festivals across the continent. Faraway from when he played the grassroots circuit with a mixture of originals in amongst covers to 20-30 people – from covering ZZ Top in pubs to playing with the actual guitarist from ZZ Top in the same band, in 2 years.
