The Kris Barras Band have premiered their new single Hail Mary exclusively with Classic Rock.
The song has been taken from the band’s upcoming album The Divine And Dirty, which is set for release on March 23 via Provogue/Mascot Label Group.
Following the release of their 2016 debut Lucky 13, former MMA fighter Barras says: “I was concerned that maybe I wasn’t going to be able to do any better than that. I forced myself to try different approaches, do things I’ve never done before. I think it paid off.”
Barras also revels that his and his late father’s hero was Gary Moore, and adds: “He was my dad’s favourite and that fed down to me. He was the best guitarist in the world, and my first introduction to the blues. Everything else came after him.”
The Kris Barras Band will head out on tour in support of The Divine And Dirty throughout March and April and will also play a set at this year’s Ramblin’ Man Fair. Find details below.
