Krissy Matthews

Krissy and his band have previously shared the billing with monster names such as Toto, Gregg Allman, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Satriani, Beth Hart, Jimmie Vaughan, Steven Seagal, Clawfinger and Los Lobos.

In March 2019, Krissy released his studio album “Monster in Me” via MIG Music. This was produced by Baard Torstensen from Clawfinger and co-written with Baard and Pete Brown. The man once known as “the unofficial fourth member of Cream”.
Pete is the poet behind timeless songs such as Sunshine of Your Love, White Room & Politician.

A brand new Krissy Matthews studio record was finished during the pandemic in October 2020 and Krissy signed a great new deal with the legendary German label Ruf Records. This includes 9 songs all written during and about the world Lockdown, and how this personally affected him. This was released on August 27 2021 and has the name “Pizza Man Blues”.

May 10 2024 sees the brand-new release “Krissy Matthews & Friends”, which, after “Pizza Man Blues” is his second album released with Ruf Records. It is a monster album which unites the who’s who of the modern blues and rock scene and took Krissy one year to produce! Friends on the album include rap metal giants Clawfinger, the god of hellfire Arthur Brown, the voice Chris Farlowe, Germany’s soul queen Inga Rumpf, legendary singer songwriter Stoppok, the iconic Hamburg Blues Band, elite drummers Dennis Chambers & Curt Cress, Blues singing dynamite Big Daddy Wilson and many more.
The album includes 24 songs and is almost 3 hours long with a mix of Krissy’s original material and his favourite cover songs. “It was a long time in the making and I managed to get it done. I started the pre-production in November 2022 and went in the studio to begin the meat and potatoes process in January 2023. I wanted to get all my favourite musicians together that I have met on the road in my career. They are not all here by any means, but a good handful are! I did not want this album to have a box, so there are many different genres from metal to blues and jazz to rock’n’roll. But in the end, it is a Krissy Matthews record.”
