KLB wins second annual Omaha Entertainment Award for best Blues Band of 07.
KLB's Roots Revival 1 on PS Blues best albums of '06!!
KLB Wins 2006 Blues Band of the Year at the Omaha Entertainment Awards!!
Kris Lager Band is a Nebraska born group of musicians who have
dedicated
their lives to learning, living, and loving all aspects of the American
music tradition. Self proclaimed "Roots Revivalists", KLB brings an
eclectic, high energy show to each and every stage they happen to land
on.
The musical palette from which they draw upon is strongly rooted in the
Blues and Rock and Roll but, has touches of barrelhouse Country, spicy
Latin
beats, cajun Zydeco, and energetic Gospel music. Playing nearly 200
shows
a year for the past 5 years has brought tightness and diversity to
every set
they play and audiences across the country will agree that Kris
Lager
Band is on the right path.
The band consists of John Fairchild on the
drums, AC Wright on the bass, Jeremiah Weir on the piano, organ, and
squeeze-box , and Kris Lager on lead vocals and guitars. With their
"Celebrate Life" mantra and good times vibe, every show runs the gamut
of
human emotions. Joy and sorrow, love and lament are all wrapped up in
one
musical experience where the only constant is pure Soul.
If you are
wondering why you haven't heard the name yet, it's all in good time.
Recently, Indigenous front man Mato Nanji has hired these guys to be
his
nationally touring band and they have traveled
from
N.Y. to L.A., and Winnipeg to New Orleans playing a mix of his and their own
original music.
So here is your chance to see an unique, energetic,
mid-western band on their way up. And make sure you check out their
new CD
"Transient" available on iTunes and at www.krislagerband.com
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)
