American Rock with Southern Firepower

Kris Bell is a Nashville-based American Rock artist known for searing guitar work, raw, commanding vocals, and high-energy performances that fuse Southern Rock grit with a modern hard rock edge. Drawing comparisons to Shinedown, Black Stone Cherry, Foo Fighters, and Creed, Bell delivers riff-driven songs built on massive choruses, blues-soaked guitar, and honest, hard-earned storytelling.  

 

Now entering a powerful new chapter, Bell returned in 2026 with a fresh wave of original music. August brought the release of two new singles, “Vengeance Is Mine” and “Broken Down,” showcasing both sides of his sound—from swaggering, guitar-heavy aggression to the darker, more emotional depth that has become a signature of his songwriting.​  That momentum follows another major 2026 release. Bell wrote “Dark Heart,” the new single from Southern Hard Rock band Two Wolf, released in July through Cleopatra Records. The track further showcases Bell’s ability to combine heavy Southern grooves, memorable hooks, and emotionally charged songwriting into music that feels both timeless and unmistakably his own.

​

A seasoned performer with national touring and major-stage experience, Kris has shared stages with Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Stone Temple Pilots, Blackfoot, Hank Williams Jr., 3 Doors Down, Molly Hatchet, Saliva, Tantric, Shooter Jennings, and more. His single “The Day & The Dark” earned placement on the Official Ballot for the 2020 Grammy Awards in the Best Rock Performance category, while his career has included national television appearances on MTV, VH1, ABC, and CBS. Onstage, Bell continues to deliver an intense, guitar-driven live show alongside longtime bandmates Jimmy Jam on bass and Shane Sexton on drums.

​

Beyond his solo work, Kris performs with Two Wolf, the American Southern Hard Rock band featuring Blackfoot founding bassist Greg T. Walker, Bell on lead guitar and vocals, Mike Estes on guitar, and Rusty Valentine on drums. Two Wolf's self-titled debut album was released June 6, 2025 through Cleopatra Records, bringing together decades of Southern Rock pedigree with a heavier, modern edge.

​

With new music arriving, a growing catalog behind him, and years of hard-earned experience on stages across the country, Kris Bell isn't interested in chasing trends. He makes the kind of music that made people fall in love with rock 'n' roll in the first place: loud guitars, undeniable hooks, real stories, and absolutely no apologies. Relentless. Seasoned. Unapologetically real, Kris Bell brings American Rock back to the front of the stage.
