As part of our continued effort to highlight musicians playing at Schmiggity’s, we dive deep into the mind and music of Kris Lager, a road warrior and soulful powerhouse who has spent over two decades bringing his unique blend of blues, rock, funk, and roots music to audiences across the country.
More than just a musician, Kris is a storyteller, a seeker, and a firm believer in the healing power of music. His “Celebrate Life” mantra isn’t just a slogan—it’s a way of being, woven into every note he plays and every crowd he uplifts.
We explore his journey from picking up a guitar at 13 after being inspired by 90s MTV to developing his signature sound that blends raw blues authenticity with groove-driven rock and roll. Kris shares what it means to play 125+ shows a year, and the lessons he’s learned from years on the road. He also reflects on the moments that shaped him, and how music continues to be his vehicle for joy, connection, and self-discovery.
