Info zu Hollow Souls

Inspired by Californian collective Supersonic Blues Machine, of which he’s also a member, Kris Barras put together a British jam band to fully embrace his blues rock roots and work with guest collaborators.

Kris Barras’ Hollow Souls features long-term collaborator, multi-instrumentalist and producer Josiah J Manning and singer Phoebe Jane, who was previously a backing vocalist for Kris Barras Band.

Using Josiah’s Plymouth-based Momentum Studios as their headquarters, Hollow Souls’ studio band also consists of drummer Joe Harris (Toby Lee / Lack of Afro) and bass player Leighton Allen (Callum Scott / The Hoosiers).

British virtuoso blues-rock guitarist, former pro MMA fighter and hard rock frontman Kris Barras launches an exciting new musical collective that takes him back to his blues rock roots. Once the leading light of the young British blues-rock scene; is back with a new band Hollow Souls.

From humble beginnings in Torquay, Devon, to trading licks with the likes of Joe Bonamassa and Billy Gibbons on the world stage, Kris has already lived a hundred lives that defy his youth and exuberance.

Kris’ own project Kris Barras Band had a mammoth 2024. From selling out headline shows in British castles, headlining Planet Rockstock, and a Top #5 UK album with Halo Effect.

Known for the gravelly vocal tone and immense guitar playing that gifted him a rapid ascent in the British blues-rock world, it is no surprise that KBB’s music has evolved year-on-year.

Hollow Souls
Kris Barras, was once a leading light of the young British blues-rock scene. From humble beginnings in Torquay, Devon to trading licks with the likes of Joe Bonamassa and Billy Gibbons on the world stage, Kris has already lived a hundred lives that defy his youth and exuberance.

Kris’ own project Kris Barras Band had a mammoth 2024. From selling out headline shows in British castles, headlining Planet Rockstock, not to mention achieving a Top 5 album in the UK with ‘Halo Effect’. Known for the gravelly vocal tone and prodigious guitar playing that gifted him a rapid ascent in the British blues-rock world, it is also no secret that KBB’s music has evolved over time.

Hitting it off with acclaimed US hard rock songwriters and signing to Earache Records set off a creative chain reaction that led to a darker, heavier and more energetic sound. Whilst KBB is firmly intrenched in the world of heavy music, Kris is still a bluesman through and through and whilst in-between albums with KBB, this creative lightning strike just happened to hit with something entirely different.

Hollow Souls’ debut single ‘Borderline’ showcases all this and more, as Kris invited Jared James Nichols, US blues-rock rising star, to feature on lead guitar remotely from across the pond. Kris said “I’ve really admired Jared’s playing for some time. His contribution to this song is massive, we gave him creative license to play whatever he wanted, I’m so stoked with the results”.

Recorded in one take at Momentum Studios (as showcased in the official video), produced and mixed by Josiah J Manning, Hollow Souls set the tone that new music with further studio collaborators and perhaps even touring could well be in store.

Like a one-two punch, Hollow Souls also come out the gates by announcing a twenty-date UK tour; a real statement of intent that demonstrates a clean sweep of the UK blues-rock circuit, where Kris champions some of the venues that allowed him to cut his teeth as an emerging talent.
