   About Kris Lager Band
Kris Lager Band is a Nebraska born group of musicians who have dedicated their lives to playing heartfelt, original American music. A Roots Revival.

With Jeremiah Weir on the Hammond Organ and key bass, John Fairchild on the drums, and Kris Lager on guitars and lead vocals, the band has a chemistry that comes from playing hundreds of shows together. With their "Celebrate Life" mantra and working class musicianship, the sound is Honest and Soulful.

Indigenous front man Mato Nanji has hired these guys to be his nationally touring band and together they have traveled from N.Y. to L.A., Yellowknife to New Orleans and many places in-between. Look for dates in your area as they embark on North American tours to promote the new Indigenous album "Broken Lands" with KLB.

Don't miss a chance to see this unique, energetic band from the Heartland. And make sure you check out their music available on iTunes and at www.krislagerband.com





"Kris Lager Band is so unassuming that it might take you a few songs to realize they're crack musicians with substantial songwriting abilities, rock-solid musicianship, and the kind of exacting sensibility that makes every song distinctive (and distinctly theirs). Those who reside on either coast might be used to thinking of the Midwest as flyover country, but "Transient" makes crystal-clear that the interior U.S. is a musical crossroads. The band inhabits the borderland of genre boundaries so comfortably, it's clear that, to them, this is home. That kind of boundary crossing gives "Transient" a cosmopolitan flair that complements its friendly, down-home sensibility. Without sounding preachy or condescending Lager and company can serve up gourmet home cooking while respecting the intelligence of their listeners." --- Genevieve Williams (Blues Revue)

"Mato Nanji, founder and leader of the Native American blues-rock band Indigenous fronts a tight, organ-powered quintet. The band's lineup was overhauled recently. Slide guitarist Kris Lager and keyboardist Jeremiah Weir now play a prominent role, so much so that the set Monday night often evoked the Allman Brothers. Frequently trading solos -- contrasting brawny, reverberating Strat tones with piercing, bottleneck flourishes -- Nanji and Lager orchestrated a series of Allmanesque crescendos with help from Weir, bassist A.C Wright and drummer John Fairchild. "
Mike Joyce (Washington Post)

"Try sampling the "Celebrate Life' sounds of the Kris Lager Band. This Lincoln band romps through a lot of different blues and rock sounds to create original music that is undeniably uplifting. You can’t leave a Kris Lager show in a bad mood."
BJ Huchtemann (the Reader)

If you loaded up the Black Keys, Deep Purple, and Ben Harper into a van, shoved them into a car smasher, you'd get the Kris Lager band.
-Producer Charlie Johnson at 1:17pm February 25, 2009
