SUMMARY:Friday Night Music - Kris Karr
DESCRIPTION:My solo performance involves music centered around the 1970s as well as originals. My performances came out of hosting an acoustic jam weekly for 4 years. I’ve been told that my solo performance sounds like an entire band. I think the reason people say that is because I was a drummer for a very long time before playing guitar\, so\, I am very rhythmic in my performance. I try to get people dancing when possible. I also like audience participation and humor. I encourage people to sing along and to be a part of the show. My hope is to make them feel as though they are at a big concert. Keeping a festive mood. My performances are 2-3 hours in length with typically no break. I work hard to keep the audience engaged so that they want to stay and have a fun time. I am a 2022 Iowa Rock & Roll Association Hall of Fame Inductee.
