Kris Bell – Southern Rock Firepower with a Modern Edge
Kris Bell is a guitar-slinging force of nature—a Southern rock outlaw armed with searing riffs, soul-soaked vocals, and a stage presence that hits like a freight train. Born in San Diego, forged in Nashville, and raised on the loud, the real, and the raw, Kris delivers a modern shot of adrenaline straight into the heart of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
Blending the heavy hooks of Shinedown, the Southern grit of Black Stone Cherry, and the anthemic firepower of Foo Fighters, Kris doesn’t just play music, he ignites it. Every song is a fist-in-the-air anthem, every show a battle cry for those who still believe rock was never meant to be background noise.
From ripping solos to hard-hitting truths, Kris has earned his scars on national tours, shared stages with legends like Lynyrd Skynyd, ZZ-Top, and Stone Temple Pilots while turning every venue into a war zone of sound and sweat. Whether he’s melting faces with his full band or stripping it down to acoustic rawness, his performances are unfiltered, unrelenting, and unforgettable.
​
In a career marked by accolades, Bell achieved a significant milestone in 2019 when his acclaimed single "The Day & The Dark" earned him a coveted placement on the Official Ballot for the 2020 Grammy Awards in the Best Rock Performance category, recognized by The Recording Academy. His magnetic stage presence has graced numerous national TV programs, including appearances on MTV, VH1, Jimmy Kimmel, and more. His electrifying guitar work is featured on Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Decades Rock Live' Album and Bo Bice's 'The Real Thing' Bonus Album.
Kris has also joined forces with Hard Southern Rock Powerhouse Band, Two Wolf, featuring Blackfoot founding member, Greg T. Walker, Lance Lopez, and Rusty Valentine for electrifying performances on Rock Legends Cruise IV, VIII, IX, X, XI, and XII. Their self-titled debut album released June 6, 2025 on Cleopatra Records and is gaining media buzz and accolades from fans all over the world.
Relentless, unapologetic, and fueled by a loyal and growing fanbase, Kris Bell is carving his legacy one thunderous show at a time. ​​
