| 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.
He picked up the guitar and took up martial arts as a child. After playing in bands throughout his teens he became disillusioned. He had toured the east coast of the USA twice and recorded an album in Philadelphia, but struggled to get to the next level.

By his early 20s, offers for fights were coming thick and fast. Music took a backseat as he travelled the world to compete in tournaments, winning 14 out of 17 fights and even settling to live in Las Vegas and Thailand.
"People used to think I was crazy to be fighting in cages, risking damage to my hands," he says. "Truth is though, I always enjoyed it and found that the fighting world offered me more opportunities than the music industry. I got to fight in front of 8000 people in Asia, I would've much rather have played to them instead of getting punched in the face."
That drive is at the heart of new album, The Divine And Dirty, his first album to be released on Provogue/Mascot Label Group. Just as the title refers to the good and the bad within us all, the album encapsulate everything Barras has been through to this point.
Following the release of 2016s self-released full length debut Lucky 13 he says, "I was concerned that maybe I wasn't going to be able to do any better than that. I forced myself to try different approaches, do things I've never done before. I think it paid off."
The Divine And Dirty wears its heritage proudly. Songs such as I Don't Owe Nobody Nothing, Propane and She's More Than Enough shows the 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.
