Krissy Matthews coming back in with new dates and more...

Having not done much work in the UK lately, he is coming back for a few shows in March and April before heading to Norway in May to perform a few shows to celebrate his 20th Birthday.

He is at the moment in the middle of working on his next record, which is rumoured to have some fairly big special guests working on it and hopefully due out in the Autumn of this year to coincide with an October European tour, followed by a UK tour in November.

Krissy Matthews is returning to perform a few UK shows after an incredibly busy 2011 touring all over Europe with the current CD "Hit the Rock" released on Rock the Earth Records, Hamburg, Germany.

In 2011, Krissy played many clubs and festivals, and supported the likes of Ten Years After, The Animals, Beth Hart, Derek Trucks and Gregg Allman to add to his great list of other performers he has shared and performed on stage with such as John Mayall, Joe Bonamassa, Robben Ford, Walter Trout and Jeff Healey.

Krissy is currently in the studio writing and pre producing for the next record due out October 2012, so these dates will be a continuation of the "Hit the Rock" tour.

A little info on Krissy:

Imagine Hank Marvin, Peter Green, Derek Trucks, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck and Alvin Lee, stick them in a mixing bowl, and the end result would be the unique guitar style and tone of Krissy Matthews, one of Britain’s youngest budding blues rock guitar slingers bringing something new to the table.

“There is no mystery behind what makes Krissy a great musician and vocalist, he knows how to turn up the quality button up to eleven and back at just the right moments…”
Maverick Magazine, UK

“If you want to hear the blues played with plenty of youthful swagger, then you’ve definitely come to the right place.”
R2 Rock n Reel Magazine, UK

“The playing is as impressive as it is intense…”

"A stunning example of innovative blues. Great promise for the future..."

Guitarist, Netherlands

"Watch out Bonamassa, a successor is ready!"
