The KRIS POHLMANN BAND was founded in the summer of 2005 by the English-born singer, songwriter and guitarist Kris Pohlmann and features American Warren Richardson on bass and backing vocals as well as German Elmar Stolley on drums, percussion and backing vocals. The trio made an immediate impact on the German blues-rock scene by winning the prestigious German Rock & Pop Award in 2006. The prize, awarded at the yearly German Rock & Pop Award ceremony is hosted by the German Pop Foundation, the German Rock & Pop Association and Musician Magazine. Following the release of their EP ‘Heavy Pain’ in spring 2007, the band quickly made a name for themselves as a high-energy live act by playing throughout Germany and supporting artists such as Eric Gales and Nine Below Zero along the way. In 2008 and 2009 the band continued to tour Germany, growing their fan base and in doing so further enhancing their reputation. At the end of 2009 the band released their first full length album 'New Resolution' to critical acclaim. RockTimes called the album "a superb debut from a band we're going to hear a lot of in the future'. The band capped off a brilliant 2009 by winning the German Rock & Pop Award for the second time. In 2010 the band toured Germany extensively promoting their new album and secured the WDR2 Radio "Newcomer" award. Read more on Last.fm.
