Kris Lager’s The Conduit Live: February 2024
Kris Lager will bring his Assembly of Assassins back to The Benson Theatre!
The Assembly of Assassins are a large format band that has recently been featured on stage during Kris Lager’s ‘Conduit Live’ Variety shows. These shows have been selling out the theatre this past fall and winter and we are doing something a little different this month! Instead of featuring a variety of acts and live entertainment we are offering a straight ahead two hour concert featuring Kris Lager and this amazing ensemble.
Kris Lager has become an underground cult hero of sorts. An uncompromising musician and charismatic performer who has cultivated a grassroots following and a career spanning over two decades. He has developed a unique ‘Celebrate Life’ message and mantra that emanates with every performance. A message that creates a congregation of dancing, singing, and clapping people with smiles on their faces everywhere he goes.
He has fused together his passion for blues, soul, funk, zydeco, country, and almost every other ‘American Roots Music’ into a contemporary and refreshing musical gumbo full of soul and spiritually uplifting rhythms and melodies.
Many people are calling him one of the finest songwriters, performers, and guitarists of his generation and for good reason too. Kris Lager’s gravely voice and stirring lyrics combine the realness and authenticity of the blues with a keen sense of the human condition.
