Having Krissy and his Viking Blues Band was a treat and a great success. Raw blues energy, and the greatest musicianship. The crowd kicked in from the first song, and Krissy kept them there throughout the concert. He’s a great, great gitarist and a fabulous showman, with a steady band backing him. They did a concert that people still talk about as «one of the best ones at the festival». We couldn’t be happier having with Krissy and his boys at our festival.

Krissy and the Vikings kicked off Larvik Guitar Festival 2025 in style! From the first riff, they had the crowd engaged, energized, and loving every minute of their concert. Their set was tight, full of groove, and packed with personality. Not only did they deliver musically, but they brought a level of entertainment that truly set the bar. For us, they were great value and then some. If you're into blues and want to see one of the genre’s top acts of this generation, Krissy and the Vikings are it.
