Kris Lager
For over two decades, Nebraska's Kris Lager—a Lincoln native now rooted in Omaha—has crisscrossed the nation as a true musical journeyman, distributing his emotionally rich, genre-blending sound to anyone and everyone willing to listen.
At the heart of his philosophy is a powerful “Celebrate Life” mantra—a spirited commitment to uplifting listeners through his deep rooted music and honest/ soul stirring lyrics. His performances are less concerts and more communal gatherings, full of dancing, clapping, “soul clappin’,” and stage-shaking charisma. He connects deeply with audiences, forging unforgettable moments that go beyond just music.
Rejecting the traditional music industry ladder, Kris has built his following through heartfelt songwriting, relentless touring, and refusing to chase awards or even mainstream validation.
Praised by peers and industry alums alike—Grammy-winning, legendary (and recently departed) producer Jim Gaines, who has mixed two of Kris' records (Love Songs & Life Lines/ Spectrum) called him “a great voice with great songs,” .
Blues Rock Review says 'He's a fantastic songwriter'.
Andy Frasco & legendary 'Swamp Rock' singer J.J. Grey just recently released a country style roots song (Kris and Andy co-penned) entitled 'Tumbleweed'.
Paste Magazine even describes his music as “the kind of toe-tapping rhythm that sometimes you just need to make it through a day.”
Please plan your next Kris Lager show and witness the magic of a seasoned musician who loves the act of expressing himself and conveying the human spirit through the art of song and dance.
