Kris Abe

Kris Abe plays guitar, sings, and writes songs rooted in blues and rock. Three albums of originals came out of the Woodbridge, Virginia area: Danger Rocks in 2010, On the Grind in 2012, and As Is in 2014.

Around them came a lot of live music: the Kris Abe Band at Chief Ike's Mambo Room in DC, Hard Times Cafe in Manassas, and Waters Edge in Woodbridge; singing with the Paul Bearers; sitting in with Three State Famous; playing in Pattaya, Thailand; and plenty of nights in the basement and the garage with friends. The videos cover 2009 to 2012.

They played four-hour sets around Virginia, from Occoquan to Fredericksburg, took requests, and in 2025 played as far away as Malmö, Sweden.
