Tales from the Road

In the heart of the 80's Bay Area, where metal music thrived, one band emerged as an icon of the 80s thrash scene – Death Angel. Recently, I had the privilege to sit down with the legendary guitarist, Ted Aguilar. Together, we journeyed through time, delving into the band's captivating tales of tours, encounters with the Big Four, technology's impact on music, their unique songwriting process, and future plans. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more on the band Website – https://www.deathangel.us Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/deathangel Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/deathangelofficial/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/deathangelofficial ___________________________________________________________________LISTEN TO THE SHOW Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3xg7v9Z Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3foYNzm ___________________________________________________________________GET IN TOUCH 🌍 Our website: www.tftrmag.com 🌍 Work with us: [email protected] ___________________________________________________________________FOLLOW MY PERSONAL WORK 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/vikramchandrase... 🌍 website: www.vikramchandrasekar.com

Kris Barras is a British blues rock guitarist and singer.Kris began playing guitar at the age of 5, under the guidance of his musician father, Paul Barras. He performed his first-ever gig with his Dad’s band at the age of 9. For most of his adult life, Kris used had an unusual side-job alongside his music career. Although now retired, he had a successful 10 year professional Mixed Martial Arts and Muay Thai career, which saw him compete and train in Las Vegas, Thailand and Singapore.  Kris picked up his first guitar aged just five -- two years later he upgraded to an electric and developed his signature style. At the same time, Barras was also training in martial arts, and although his music career saw him playing in various bands, touring the U.S., Europe, and the U.K., he also found himself competing in mixed martial arts contests.  Deciding that fighting wasn’t the direction he wanted to take, he fell back onto his first love, music. In 2014 he formed the Kris Barras Band, playing a mix of blues and Southern and classic rock. The following year they released their self-titled debut mini-album independently and spent the majority of their time playing gigs up and down the UK. The follow-up album, Lucky 13, appeared in 2016, once again self-released. In 2017 Barras signed to Mascot label Provogue and set about recording his third album. The Divine and Dirty. The success of this album led to tours with artists such as Beth Hart, Joanne Shaw Taylor and GUN. Kris was featured as one of "The 17 Best Blues Guitarists in the World". He was voted number 13, alongside names such as Joe Bonamassa, John Mayer, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Derek Trucks and Eric Gales. I caught up with Kris a couple months ago to talk about his bands latest release Death Valley Paradise. We also delved into his songwriting process, his fighting career, his experiences playing live at some of the most iconic venues, life on the road and his frontman duties with Supersonic Blues Machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For tour dates and merch - https://www.krisbarrasband.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/krisbarrasband/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/krisbarrasband Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx6hSbEY0Xw0_45i0ybcvNw--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow Tales from the Road Facebook https://www.facebook.com/talesfromtheroadofficial Instagram https://www.instagram.com/talesfromtheroad/ Sign up for our mailing list at tftrmedia.com-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Subscribe on Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Google | Gaana |Audible You can also read, watch, listen via our website https://www.tftrmedia.com Hosted & Produced by Vikram Chandrasekar and Moving Pictures Media
