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.

Hollow Souls (L-R):

Hollow Souls is a dream project for Kris. Together with long-term collaborator, multi-instrumentalist and producer Josiah J Manning, using Josiah’s Plymouth-based Momentum Studios as their base, a studio band consisting of drummer Joe Harris (Toby Lee / Lack of Afro) and bass player Leighton Allen (Callum Scott / The Hoosiers) became more than the sum of its parts.

When Kris invited in former KBB backing singer Phoebe Jane to jam, the floodgates of creativity truly opened. In writing for her dexterous range and astonishing power, Kris and Josiah knew they had found a singer with which their musical palette could continue to evolve; the spark that ignited a whole new band into existence with Hollow Souls.

Hollow Souls’ debut single “Borderline” highlights 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 have 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 am so stoked with the results.”

Recorded in one take at Momentum Studios (as showcased in the official "Borderline" music video here), and 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.

"Borderline" is available to stream and download on all digital platforms from Friday March 28th on Hollow Souls’ own label imprint. Stream the new single HERE. Watch the official “Borderline” music video on YouTube HERE.
